You know, if you've got the leaked version, than you can just update it...

If you have the leaked version, it's a later version than the official one. And if you click upgrade it'll tell you that you have the latest

 

[Pinoy55]

So which is the latest build version? Hmmmm.. Weird isn't it? And if you try updating MSE, it will say you're already using the latest version...

Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.2140.0 (From torrent sites)
Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.1407.00 (From official MSE site)

 

[ikilledkenny]

Well, mine is 2140, so I think it's newer. I'll check out what's on their website.

 

[jblazea50]

if anyone is having trouble downloading, send me a PM and i will send you a megaupload link for all 3 versions

I am also using 2140 build. Hmmmm...

Kenny is talking about the definition update, not the build number

Nope, he's talking about the build version.

Here are the latest definitions.

Antimalware Client Version: 2.0.5612.0
Engine Version: 1.1.4803.0
Antivirus definitions: 1.61.226.0
Antispyware definitions: 1.61.226.0

 

[mxosder16]

Nope, he's talking about the build version.

The build number would be the number under 'Microsoft Security Essentials Version'
the line above the info you posted

Yup i know. I am just wondering why the torrent leak is more updated than on the official MSE site?

Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.2140.0 (From torrent sites)
Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.1407.00 (From official MSE site)

 

[Pinoy55]

And when i try to install it, it says i already have the latest version installed.

The first is a leaked one
the second is the official beta. So use the last one.

 

[ikilledkenny]

Yeah, I just up/down-graded to the offical beta.

I have both the x32 and x64 hosted, PM me for a link. They will not be taken off (probably ever....) so I will have them until the official release. These are the Official M$ release.

PM for link.

~Lordbob

EDIT: They had to be uploaded as ZIPs, but this just makes them smaller.

Please send me the link to the official beta. Thanks a million.

Edit: Thanks DarkNovaGundam for the Link but I already downloaded one from Softpedia.

Please send me the link to the official beta. Thanks a million.

Lordbob isn't on currently so I sent you it instead.

 

[Lordbob75]

Sorry Everyone!

I am currently on vacation in Florida and internet access is somewhat Limited.... (for $10 a day!) so I will not be on as much as I am when I am home. I will do what I can to get links to all that ask though.

NOTE: It will be faster if you PM me, though you will get a link here if I am not on faster. Your choice.

HEY! this thing ate Windows Defender! i cant find it anywhere....
huh... maybe MSE assimilated it.

i like that it only uses ~26MB of ram, where as N32 was ~40-50, Avast was ~35
MSE might just make a name for itself.

Can it do boot-time scans by any chance? If not i'llbe sticking to Avast.
