Microsoft Security Essentials build 1.0.1500.0 arrives

The downloads from connect are available again. Its build 1500 though. So it looks like they took down the 1501 build, and replaced it with 1500.

yes they indeed did that. Lucky i grabed 1501 yesterday. Its 6 days difference in development! (1500 signed on 6th and 1501 signed on 12th).

I had the same problem in XP never was able to get it down, but in Windows 7, today as soon as i re-installed MSE it topped to 50-60MB , but now it runs 32MB at idle.

May be theres a background Scaning running

odd on mine I only appear to have mseces.exe running which is at 4,624k and its the new version.

I still don't see the new verison on my Connect Dashboard.

ms update should show it as an optional update

edit: haha didnt see that 4 pages had already been made. only read 1st page

Really interested in trying this, but I'm perfectly happy with my NOD32 installation.

Guess I'll throw it into the XP VM and see how MSE performs there.

Mine updated automatically within the product earlier today and it now shows 1500 in the "About" response. It also shows 1500 in the details of the executable. I checked Connect and there is no download section anymore. Did they pull 1501 due to bugs or something? 1500 seems to running well and much faster.
