• Strange. It comes up with this for me:
  
  Not available in your country or region. You appear to be in a country or region where the Microsoft Security Essentials Beta is unavailable.
  
  This beta is available only to customers in the United States, Israel (English only), People's Republic of China (Simplified Chinese only) and Brazil (Brazilian Portuguese only).

• I've just managed to successfully download and install it, but my MSN account is set to USA, even though I'm located in the UK.
  
  Basically, it seems like it'll only stop you if your MSN account says you're not in one of those countries. It doesn't seem to check IP addresses or anything. Posted by radioedit, United Kingdom
• Search microsoft security essentials on google and download it off a site other than microsoft and you will be able to install it and use it fine :) Posted by Andy, UK
