Dunno where the $49 came from.

I think I was looking at windows one care .. or something like that ??

I wouldn't pay M$ to Protect M$ ...
Not sure I'd trust M$ even if it was free ...
Wouldn't that be like hiring the fox to protect the hen house

well you can always double check by using the free online scanners from the major producers like mcafee.

just updated from leaked to public beta.

Anyone else have to download that even though the file is nowhere near 1GB?

I did as well. It downloaded fine although I still can't install it and would appreciate any help

It installed fine for me. Did you disable/uninstall your current antivirus before trying to install it? I doubt it would cause a conflict with the instillation but it's a possibility.

PM me with your issue

Id post that in public to help anyone else with a similar problem

Anyone else having the definition update moving along at a crawling speed? It's been 'updating' for a good twenty minutes now. :/

Nothing else is using my bandwidth, so I don't see why it's going so slow.

my guess, since beta went public everyone is installing it and overloading update servers.
