Full Story: Microsoft Security Essentials build 1.0.1500.0 arrives - Ars Technica

My system tried to automatically update to it. Deleted the old version, didn't install the update and it's not on my computer. Checked MS Connect and there's no link for me to d/l it. Time for a bug report!

Its missing on mine too. So it looks like they pulled the downloads. But you can try going to the Help menu in MSE, then select Upgrade MSE. See if that works.

Thanks, i already had it from Windows Update :)

Submitted a feedback(rather a support mail), regarding the unavailability of the Downloads.

Mine was updated yesterday by Windows Update - build 1500. No d/l available on my Connect page.

I like the older tray icon much better. I have been happy with the performance of MSE, and as previously stated - that is what matters most.

Now a little confused as I have the leaked version 2140. Now is the version I have the newest or is it just a false version number and stopping any updates.

I mean if 1501 is actually newer then will need to uninstall.

I think this question would effect many people on here as I am sure I am not the only one who installed this version.

2140 (leaked version) is newer, so you can't upgrade. You will need to uninstall and then install 1501. Mine says 1501.

I am confused. I downloaded MSE when it was available about a month ago and my version is 1.0.2140.0. So a new version is out with a lower number??

1.0.2140.0 is a leaked version, it was never officially released. I say so in the article.

Upgraded, all is well. Only funny thing after the MSE update every time, and I mean really every time I'm googling I get this:

Microsoft Security Essentials build 1.0.1500.0 arrives-google_sorry.png

I know MSE should have nothing to do with Google thinking I'm a bit, but MSE update is the only change I've made on my computer in a week or so.

Weird.

@ Kari - that is weird. mine doesn't do that... google takes 75% of all my internet activity in a given day. so i probably would've seen that at some point. maybe it's a regional thing?

I don't know what that was but it was so annoying I did a system restore. After system restore I was where I'd started, with older beta. And this weird thing was gone. Once again I updated MSE, and the rest of the story can be found here.
