I'll check back later.
Their servers seems to be jammed up for the download.

Does anyone know if this will come down the pipe like an update or does one have to use the download link Airbot provided?

I just DL'ed and it stayed 1.0.2498.0

 

[Jacee]

Did you download the 64bit version?

 

[Hopalong X]

I got the 2.0 64bit from Airbot's link.
Finally.

It doesn't seem to auto update I tried that also.

My chosen method was to uninstall the beta version and re-install, and new version is same as Airbot has listed.

Could anyone please post the memory usage of this software when idle?

Thats not correct, MSE2 has 3 processes.

MSMPENG.EXE 62320k
MSSECES.EXE 4524k
NISSRV.EXE 1788k

Its still a lean product though.

Whats up with their Beta program - 2nd time a 'beta' has gone RTW and those of us in the 'on-going' beta are left behind.

So far I've not found anywhere that there is a 'New Beta' starting up.. Beta version should not update to RTW I wouldn't think - so any recommendations as to how to proceed ?

I tried to upgrade the way I did the last time. I used the triangle in the upper right corner and selected upgrade which opens the "Upgrade Wizard" but it says my version is the latest: 1.0.2498.0. The support page still calls it "Beta": Beta | Microsoft Security Essentials
