Microsoft announces free antivirus, limited public beta

[TheIgster]

Checked Windows Update and its 32MB.

Windows Update?

It updates itself. Mine didn't update through Windows Update.

If you go into Windows Update and click on 'view update history' you will see it there.
But yes, you're right.

Ah, gotcha.

Well, this thing already stopped a trojan from coming in when I was surfing where I hadn't surfed before and when I did a Full Scan last night it found a trojan that AVG let in. I also had an .exe file that caused a false positive in AVG and MSE simply scanned it and said it was fine (which it is).

Pretty happy with this so far. Nice Job Microsoft.

does anyone notice that virus definition updates are a little too big for an anti-virus?

It still in testing, and they don't have definitions for everything just yet. I'm sure it's big only because there's many definitions to cover.

Well, suddenly my MSE doesn't update itself no more (it always fails to get update now....???) Windows Updates show no updates... Maybe the MS beta is a different build. and the 1 from torrent is the old build???? And MS has stop updating the old build???

 

[Slimy]

Working here. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft ends up releasing a newer build, but I can't say if they will

[ikilledkenny]

I use it as my main AV, and I will continue to install on every build it get

Yeah, mine looks like that (directed at srq2625).

DAMN... Looks like my ISP been screwing up ... OR something wrong on my side... talking about that now i can't even sign in to live messenger...

AT&T can be like that with their phone lines. They're bad about warning their customers, but they have the best service on earth!

Friends,
no. 1: I'm NOT in US!
no. 2: I don't know much about AT&T other than its bad network and iPhones in US are locked in it..
no. 3: I'm a Malaysian
no. 4: I think my ISP is WAYYY Worse than AT&T... Its called Streamyx... but people usually call it 'Screamyx' ADSL... My package its the average package (in my country): 1 Mbps.....
Has a lot of downtimes with DNS server, etc., slowdown, even last time youtube never played smoothly...So, I believe SCreamyx is having some problem with their 'SERVER'/'SIDE'/'ROUTER'.... (they ALWAYS have problems).. This 1 seems terrible...
Plus, no point I call their support center coz, its just complete retards that are programmed to do (just like terminators) without thinking (but they are human surprisingly)

EDIT: look like the windows time was a bit off (a few weeks +... ) That' why i couldn't sign in to messenger.. hopefully now the updating works

Like I said b4, my computer clock time was out ( i adjusted it purposely, but forgot to put the default time back). Once i changed the time, restarted, all works fine including messenger... Sorry for 'dirty-ing' the forum...
