Leaked: Microsoft Security Essentials (codename Morro)

[Mark]

It looks allot nicer then the Avast UI, although it's not hard to do that.

 

[Dark Nova Gamer]

Eh.. I'll probably wait for it to be available from Microsoft.

I have to lol at this. You have such patience.. I would have just cracked the sh1ts

Have you scanned with it yet? What was it like? Scans slow down my computer so much, I rarely do them while I'm awake.

I did a quick scan right after i installed 7260 and it took about 10 minutes

 

[Slimy]

^ I would not recommend doing so because this is a leaked build.

i'm using right now... is very ligh and easy to use...

If really works? Only time will tell...

I found it by accident when looking for Win 7 walls. Downloaded it and am now up and running. It came in three favors

1. mssefullinstall-amd64fre-en-us-viata 1.0 (Running this one on Vista)
2. mssefullinstall -x86fre-en-us-vista 1.0
3. mssefullinstall-x86-en-us-xp 1.0

As you can see it covers Vista and Xp (would think it might work with 7 using Vista Mode (haven't tried 7 yet).

It loaded up with no problems. Ran a scan then went to the Update tab, and ran the update. Update went smoothly; from there went to settings where you are offered two membership settings:

1. Basic Membership which uploads to MS just basic information about your system so as to determine how the program is working.

2. Advanced membership: In addition to basic information, MSE sends more information to Microsoft malicious software, spy-ware, and potentially unwanted software, including the location of the software, file names, how the software operates, and how it has impacted your computer. (I choose the advanced).

I have been using it for several hours with no apparent problems thus far.

Will test it on Win 7 some time later today.

I noticed one of the comments was about the amount of memory being used (24m); not sure why because I am using only 7.2 m of memory, and 11 Mb of disk space. AVG used 68 Mb of disk space and about the same amount of memory as MSE. Thus far there appears to be no drag on the system as some AV software tends to have. I have run a series of applications through their paces (Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2.4, Canvas 11, VMware 6.5, all MS Office applications, Firefox, Opera, IE8, Quicken, and WMP 11, and there has been no problems as of yet, and hopefully never.

Good to know

Edit: I have the links if anyone wants to try this out

Hey redsoxm16 can you give me the link PLEASE.

Anybody checked to see if it scans downloads in browsers apart from I.E.?

That would be nice, though I know both FF and Chrome do this automatically.

I too would enjoy a link. Does anyone know if this will work with Avast!? It would be nice to use both. If no one has, then I will try it and let you know.

Anyone have a light firewall for Seven that is effective and simple (with out lots of pop ups)? I should put one on my laptop.

I should scan it when Firefox creates the file

It should work with both, it might slow your system down a bit with two applications scanning all your files though

I dont know what Firefox really scans on downloads but it defiantly aint for Virus's, It does it on systems that have no AntiVirus :huh:

 

[PotatoMan83]

Im on my netbook, if someone could pm me the link it would be great

I don't know either....

And Avast! is taking up less than 2 mb right now........... and Adaware is using less than 1. So I think another won't bother me.

Link?

Memory use ... on my lappie with only 2GB (x86, 7229), MSE takes about 2.5MB.

On my desktop (i7, 6GB, x64 7229), MSE takes up about 30MB.

So, what's the difference? The lappie still has the pagefile.sys enabled whereas the desktop doesn't. It would appear that MSE pages out a lot of stuff that it doesn't need all the time, if the pagefile is enabled. I don't know this for a fact, it's just a guess.
