Having used right through beta i have been chuffed to bits wth this.

On that note though, is it likely that the beta will update itself through win updates? I'm guessing so... if there are indeed further updates.

I guess there is no hope of MS going back to the previous icons... the newer ones are a tad invasive

I dont mind the new ones, makes it clear that your computer is safe or not.

Perhaps you have a sig update newer than the download contains. Uninstall current (beta) version and install the new release.

It also stated I had the latest when attempting to upgrade, I had to uninstall the beta and reinstall the other (not to much work since no restarts are required).

167.178.0 is the database version number, the program version should read 1.0.1611.0.

... Isn't that the same Version Number from the leaked version a while back, before the connect beta was public-ish?

Strange...
Ive downloaded using the location : United States
Upgraded it in 2 sec and running it perfectly
P.S. For the first time i have no error to solve

PPL you should try doing a clean install of MSE instead of the upgrade
