    MSE Updates


    Is it me or since the newest version of MSE and I installed the Win 7 Service Pack 1

    Security Essentials Version: 2.0.657.0
    Antimalware Client Version: 3.0.8107.0
    Engine Version: 1.1.6502.0

    I now only get updates as an optional extra on the updates page anyone getting this?

    I'm pretty sure it's always been like that. MSE will update periodically and grab those updates

    Hi Steve
    It seems to have been since the MSE ver 2 update they began been labelled as optional rather than important.Dont think is was anything to do with SP1.

    Yeah it's labelled as optional so people don't get the alerts all the time of their system needing an update. They did this because they changed how they rolled out the updates to going through the windows updater instead of through MSE itself.

I find it odd that when I do a Windows Update in Windows 7, the Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) updates are also found. But if I do a Windows Update in XP Mode, the MSE updates are not found. I don't suppose this is controllable? I'd like the Windows Update to find MSE updates.
