Review by Ars Technica
Having used right through beta i have been chuffed to bits wth this.
On that note though, is it likely that the beta will update itself through win updates? I'm guessing so... if there are indeed further updates.
I guess there is no hope of MS going back to the previous icons... the newer ones are a tad invasive :P
I dont mind the new ones, makes it clear that your computer is safe or not.
It doesn't like my IP. its a valid US ip and MSE says its not available in my country. Its only available in the US,etc. I even tried IE no joy
Go figure.
