Alternatively, users may download the updates manually from Microsoft Security Portal. MSE automatically checks for and downloads virus definition updates which are published three times a day to Microsoft Update. System Restore points are created before removing found malware.

If no response is received in ten minutes, then the suspected malware is handled according to its default action, letting MSE determine what to do with the malware. Before taking action against a suspect file, MSE prompts for user input. Its Dynamic Signature Service attempts to better identify malicious files by checking for updates if an application exhibits suspicious behavior. File downloads and e-mail attachments are also scanned. Using default settings, archived files are decompressed, and then scanned.

MSE requires no registration or personal information. Before installation, MSE checks for the validity of the installed copy of Microsoft Windows. It includes the same anti-malware engine (dubbed "Microsoft Malware Protection Engine", or MSMPENG for short), and virus definitions that all other Microsoft desktop anti-malware products share, including Forefront Client Security, Windows Live OneCare, and Windows Defender (Defender excludes the antivirus definitions which are separate from the antispyware definitions). MSE is a security suite designed for consumers and lacks centralized management features which are found in Microsoft Forefront Client Security. The key new features are: Updated protection engine, protection against web-based threats and a network intrusion detection system that works on Windows Vista and Windows 7. On 19 July 2010 Microsoft released the beta version of Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0.

On Windows Vista and Windows 7, MSE requires a 1 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. For Windows XP, MSE requires at least a 500 MHz processor and 256 MB of RAM. Hardware requirements for MSE differ, depending on the operating system. The final build was released on 29 September 2009 At the time, Microsoft stated that MSE would be finalized and released before the end of 2009, in 20 markets and 10 languages. On 23 June 2009, Microsoft opened a public beta to 75,000 people in the United States, Israel, People's Republic of China and Brazil. Microsoft Forefront would be offered alongside MSE, with central management tools not present in MSE. It marked a change in Microsoft's consumer antivirus marketing strategy: Instead of offering a subscription-based antivirus with a host of other tools, such as backup and a personal firewall, Morro would be free for all genuine installations of Windows not intended for business use (with an exception for small home based businesses) and offers protection against all types of malware. Microsoft announced plans for a free consumer security product, codenamed Mao on 18 November 2008.
