MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS

MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS 1.0

These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on
where you live, one of its affiliates) and you. Please read them. They apply to the
software named above, which includes the media on which you received it, if any.
The terms also apply to any Microsoft

• updates,

• supplements,

• Internet-based services, and

• support services

for this software, unless other terms accompany those items. If so, those terms
apply.

By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them,
do not use the software.

As described below, installation or use of the software also operates as

your consent to the transmission of certain standard computer information
during validation, automatic download and installation of certain updates,
and for Internet-based services.

If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below for each
license you acquire.

1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.

a. Use. You may install and use any number of copies of the software on your
devices in your household for use by people who reside there or for use in
your home-based small business.

b. Separation of Components. The components of the software are licensed

as a single unit. You may not separate the components and install them on
different devices.

c. Included Microsoft Programs. The software may contain other Microsoft

programs. The license terms with those programs apply to your use of them.

2. VALIDATION.

a. The software may cause the operating system software to conduct validation
checks of your operating system software from time to time, depending upon
your specific operating system.

b. Validation verifies that your computer’s operating system has been activated
and is properly licensed. Validation also permits you to use certain features of
the operating system software or to obtain additional benefits.
 c. If a validation check is performed, the operating system software will send
information about the software and your operating system software to
Microsoft. This information includes the versions of the software and operating
system software. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact
you. By using the software, you consent to the transmission of this
information. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
LinkId=163954.
d. If, after a validation check, your operating system software is found not to be
properly licensed, the software you are installing may be disabled, or the
functionality of the operating system software may be affected, depending
upon your specific operating system and applicable laws. For example, you
may need to reactivate the operating system software or you may receive
reminders to obtain a properly licensed copy of the operating system
software, or you may not be able to use or continue to use some of the
features of the operating system software or obtain certain updates, upgrades
or services from Microsoft.
e. You may only obtain updates or upgrades for the operating system software
from Microsoft or authorized sources. For more information on obtaining
updates from authorized sources, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
LinkId=163955.
3. INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. Microsoft provides Internet-based services with
the software. Except as otherwise noted in materials accompanying a service, it
may change or cancel them at any time.
a. Consent for Internet-Based Services. The software features described
below connect to Microsoft or service provider computer systems over the
Internet. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they
connect. Unless otherwise noted, you may switch off these features or not use
them. For more information about these features, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=148744. By using these features,
you consent to the transmission of this information. Microsoft does not
use the information to identify or contact you.
Computer Information. The following features use Internet protocols, which
send to the appropriate systems computer information, such as your Internet
protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and name and
version of the software you are using, and the language code of the device
where you installed the software. Microsoft uses this information to make the
Internet-based services available to you.
• Microsoft Update Feature. By installing the software on your device,
you also agree to receive updates using the Microsoft Update
center. This feature provides you with the latest updates against
malware threats and can update your device with the latest
updates as needed. If you do not enlist in the Microsoft Update
center, you will not be able to install and operate the software. For
more information about the Microsoft Update feature, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=148744.

• Microsoft Digital Rights Management. If you use the software to

access content that has been protected with Microsoft Digital
Rights Management (DRM), in order to let you play the content, the
software may automatically request media usage rights from a
rights server on the Internet and download and install available
DRM Updates. For more information, see
 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=123883.

• Malicious Software Removal. The software will check for and

remove certain high severity malicious software (“Malware”) from
your device automatically during scheduled scans and after
discovery. When the software checks your device for Malware, a
report will be sent to Microsoft about any Malware detected or
errors that occur while the software is checking for Malware,
specific information relating to the detection, errors that occurred
while the software was checking for Malware, and other information
about your device that will help us improve this and other Microsoft
products and services. No information that can be used to identify
you is included in the report.

• Error Reports. This software automatically sends error reports to

Microsoft that describe which software components had errors. No
files or memory dumps will be sent unless you choose to send
them. From time-to-time, we will also download a small file to your
computer that permits us to collect information about specific
errors you have while using the software. For more information
about Error Reports, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
LinkId=148744.
• Potentially Unwanted Software. The software will search your
computer for low to medium severity Malware, including but not
limited to, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software
("Potentially Unwanted Software"). The software will only remove or
disable low to medium severity Potentially Unwanted Software if
you agree. Removing or disabling this Potentially Unwanted
Software may cause other software on your computer to stop
working, and it may cause you to breach a license to use other
software on your computer, if the other software installed this
Potentially Unwanted Software on your computer as a condition of
your use of the other software. You should read the license
agreements for other software before authorizing the removal of
this Potentially Unwanted Software. By using this software, it is
possible that you or the system will also remove or disable software
that is not Potentially Unwanted Software.
• Microsoft SpyNet Participation. When you install the software,
Microsoft SpyNet allows users to become part of a network
community of users that report spyware and other forms of
Potentially Unwanted Software to Microsoft. Upon initial installation,
users will be opted-in by default to participate in Microsoft SpyNet
under a “basic” membership, which allows the software to report
potential threats identified in the software that have not yet been
analyzed for risks. The reports include information about the files or
programs in question. For more information about Microsoft SpyNet
and the information collected for reports, see the privacy statement
at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=148744.

• Automatic Updates. This software may contain Silverlight

technology. If it does, Silverlight contains an Automatic Update
feature that is on by default. Microsoft may change or cancel it at
any time. For more information about this feature, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=123883. You may turn off
 this feature while the software is running (“opt-out”). Unless you
expressly opt out of this feature, this feature will (a) connect to
Microsoft or service provider computer systems over the Internet,
(b) use Internet protocols to send to the appropriate systems your
computer information, such as your Internet protocol address, the
type of operating system, browser and name and version of the
software you are using, and the language code of the device where
you installed the software, and (c) automatically download and
install, or prompt you to download and/or install, current Updates to
a previous version of the software. By installing the software and
not opting out of this feature, you consent to the transmission of
your computer information and the automatic downloading and
installation of Updates.

It also applies even if Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of
the damages. The above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you because your
country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other
damages.
