    Thanks for the heads up.

    Any idea where to find a change log/version history? I can never find them for MS products.

    TIA

    There is not a changelog for any version of MSE.

    I've just installed it and as I already had MSE installed, this version installs as an upgrade.

    It's anti-virus database must be a lot bigger as the original version was a 9 MB download, this version is 12 MB.

    Thanks, installing now.
    Hmmm, It's still the same version as I had, from 2010.

    That probably explains why I can't find it. ;-) That's one of my problems with MS. Really difficult to decide if you want to try a new version if you can't get an idea what's new. Oh well such is life...

    Thank you kindly for the reply.

    Weird, the package I downloaded was 9MB and said I need to first uninstall MSE. MS strikes again. Still same version for me.
    EDIT:Aha!, this works better, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...ity-essentials
    Indeed, it upgraded.
