Microsoft announces free antivirus, limited public beta

For Uk users like me a very nice chap has posted a work around...

Microsoft Security Essentials is live!!

Top dollar :)

You know, if you've got the leaked version, than you can just update it...

If you have the leaked version, it's a later version than the official one. And if you click upgrade it'll tell you that you have the latest

So which is the latest build version? Hmmmm.. Weird isn't it? And if you try updating MSE, it will say you're already using the latest version...

Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.2140.0 (From torrent sites)
Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.1407.00 (From official MSE site)

Well, mine is 2140, so I think it's newer. I'll check out what's on their website.

if anyone is having trouble downloading, send me a PM and i will send you a megaupload link for all 3 versions

Kenny is talking about the definition update, not the build number

Nope, he's talking about the build version. :)

Here are the latest definitions.

Antimalware Client Version: 2.0.5612.0
Engine Version: 1.1.4803.0
Antivirus definitions: 1.61.226.0
Antispyware definitions: 1.61.226.0

Nope, he's talking about the build version. :)

The build number would be the number under 'Microsoft Security Essentials Version'
the line above the info you posted

Yup i know. I am just wondering why the torrent leak is more updated than on the official MSE site?

Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.2140.0 (From torrent sites)
Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.1407.00 (From official MSE site)
