Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Security Essentials which offers performance enhancements and some new functionality within the program.

To receive this update, follow these steps:

Source: Microsoft Security Essentials Update - September 2012

The user can follow the steps there or as I found it through Windows Updates.

My old version:

Microsoft Security Essentials Client Update Package - KB2754296-mse4_0.jpg

New:

Microsoft Security Essentials Client Update Package - KB2754296-mse-sept.jpg

Not sure why, but the new version does not include the Security Essentials Version line at the top of the System Information box.

Same here for the AntiMalware Client Version missing but we do not have the same either.

I've got:
Network Inspection System Engine Version: 2.1.8600.0
Network Inspection System Definition Version: 15.11.0.0

The only difference I see is I run Home Premium, and you have Pro.

I wonder if that has any bearing with the NIS versions being different ?

NoN · 26 Sep 2012

If it could be a difference, maybe for x32 and x64 based system, but the version type of the OS...?

I have Home Premium 64-bit and my screen agrees with NoN in post 2.

It could be because you stayed at AntiVirus Definition 1.125.xxx and there was major updates like 1.133.xxx & 1.135.xxx & now 1.137.xxx before you updated.

I don't know NoN.

I found some other differences here: MSE Prerelease Version 4.1.522.0 - Microsoft Answers

Take note of rhabdomantist's answer at the bottom of his post:

You should be able to do an over the top install.
Note the different version number (4.1.0522.0 vs 4.1.522.0) Haven't confirmed it yet but there seems to be an error.

My update said nothing of a "pre-release"

I see your recent post, let me explain, that 1.125 is the AVD version I had when I updated MSE client the last time back in April.
It is the "old version"

I was up to AVD1.137 when this Sept. client update came in.

MSE on my XP box doesn't even have NIS listed.

I checked for WU last nite and I got it as an important update.

NoN · 26 Sep 2012

Perhaps uninstall the actual MSE version, then download it again and do a windows update, could fix to newer network version engine?

Anak · 26 Sep 2012

That would be what to try to see if it would correct the NIS version.

But, before I do that I'm going to let it ride for a few days to see if any other updates for MSE come down the pipe.
There is even that version mix-up, is it .0552 or .552 or is that just a typo?

MS Security must have been working their butts off with the out of cycle IE update, and now the MSE client update so I'm not surprised that there would be some snafus.
