MSE Update/ Ongoing Beta Program thru MS Connect

[AlexT2889]

There is a new Program Update for MSE 1.0 which changes Beta # from 1676 to 1743.

I have no idea if it is a Final or Beta since MSE's website still installs 1611 while Connect still displays 1676.

My Vista machine urgently notified of the Update while XP didn't and ran into several roadblocks while I made it work in the end.

Here's what you should have.
MSE was out of Beta stage a while back.

 

[AlexT2889]

No, There is a Ongoing Beta testing going on in Connect you need to be invited, and as I was one of the original 5,000 or so Beta testers for MSE, I was chosen. Other members on here have 1676 but I got the new 1743 update last night.

*The Connect page displaying the download links is old now, I updated from 1676 to 1743.

Oh i see, might have been worth mentioning that in the OP

Sorry, I made a post about 1676 awhile back but it was moved around by the Admins. While another person's post about same topic stayed in place... But since that thread is gone, I brought this one up.

Hi all
any chance of this being released so it works on a SERVER.

Cheers

There's already a program for Servers called Microsoft Forefront Security. MSE is based off Forefront.

Its available on Technet in both x-86 and x-64 so no charge.

Glad I joined technet

Just this:

What’s new in this version of the Microsoft Security Essentials
ongoing beta?

This version of the Microsoft Security Essentials ongoing beta will be
used to produce an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) pre-install
toolkit (Also referred to as an OPK). The OPK will be used
extensively by OEMs and system builders to preinstall MSE on Windows
PCs thereby bringing Security Essentials to more consumers across
many countries. Therefore it is critical that this build be of as
high quality as our regular releases to consumers.

Will this version of Microsoft Security Essentials ongoing beta be
released to directly consumers?

No, this version of Microsoft Security Essentials ongoing is only
meant for OEMs and system builders and will not be released as an
update directly to consumers.

Yes.. Sorry, but there's no download for this build even on Connect, the upgrade is applied to the previously installed original ongoing beta build.

 

[Dinesh]

Got it.

 

[mcfly88]

yea I as well would like to see release notes

its seems the same as the last beat build, probably just under the hood type stuff. I liked that a notification came up about the update most avs you have to find the update yourself.

 

[Airbot]

Was this option in the new 1.0.1743.0 always there in earlier builds? I don't remember it being there.

 

[TheSchaft]

@Airbot - I believe that the option to create a restore point if problems were found has always been there. The option to create a restore point before scanning - now I'm not sure.

 

[Airbot]

Ah, yes thanks.
I just checked an earlier build of it in one of my VM's and it's there, just didn't notice it before I guess.
