    what upgrade are you talking about, from v1 to v2 ?
    yes
    you have misunderstood this thread...
    there is no upgrade from MSE v1 to v2.
    the upgrade mentioned here is to a newer version of v1.

    MSE v2-beta must be downloaded separately, then v1 must be uninstalled before you install v2-beta.

    when v2-beta is finally released there might be an upgrade directly from v1.

    so you can relax, Microsoft is NOT forcing you to upgrade to MSE v2-beta....

    It is an update to Version 1 that you have installed not a new version.
    It is very poor terminology by MS.

    It's not quite bad terminology

    You are infact upgrading from 1 revision/version to another so technically it is an upgrade.

    My question still stands to adictontakt, why not download the upgrade? You'll find that it probably hosts stability & security updates that cannot be downloaded via the definition updates.

    Confusing terminology for many.

Is the above enough security or should I be going for an anti-virus program as well?
