This does have real-time scanning, right? I'd prefer not using software that I have to schedule to run at intervals...
Every link from microsoft for MSE goes there. Am I missing something?..Not available in your country or region
You appear to be in a country or region where Microsoft Security Essentials is not available. Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Security Essentials.
