MSE V1.0.1963.0 out

Microsoft Security essentials new version is out looks great so far

 

thanks.... i wish we would know whats changed and added.

 

any improvements ?

 

Not much has changed from a performance or detection perspective. This is a release focussed on prepping the MSE user base for smoother upgrades to new versions of MSE.

 

Yup, noticed the build number only increased by 2, so don't expect much.

 

Not much changed, still slow at boot .Is there any new version coming up soon

 

Multiple people in the Microsoft Connect newsgroup for the MSE beta have reported that this build has faster full scans.

 

All Microsoft software is generally continually developed upon. Soon is a vague term.

 

my AV is MSE the best, full integration with W7 and little memory foot print and high detection rates, cool new version runs as always so quiet and strong

 

Yep same here. Been using MSE since the beta last year. Just updated and no problems here works great. Just need the registry fix to check for the updates hourly.


Look at this post on how to do that here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=276172

 

I still do not understand why one would "fool" around in the registry instead of runing "MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate" from the Windows task scheduler...

Maybe somone could enlighten me ?

 

Well the registry edit works great (ALWAYS get the updates now) for me and I have read of other ways that have had problems and would not update sometimes. Maybe your way is another great way haven't tried because registry edit works great!

Are you using malwarebytes real time with MSE? how does it work out? any conflicts? . I am using with pctools firewall and sandboxie(Opera 10.60) on my notebook.Apart from slow boot time its working great .

 

Yes using Malwarebytes real time. See my signature below been using all those for over 5 months on Windows XP SP3. No problems here just need to exclude Malwarebytes in MSE.

Here's what to exclude:

Thanks man i will give it a try.

 

I care about its speed of dealing with a virus more.Before it sometimes required half a hour,I don't know whether it's faster or not now?

 

hmmm........maybe it was giving the virus one hell of a closed door beating...

 

Ballmer specifically asked the MSE team to make it throw chairs at the virus before deleting it.

 

Since installing this upgrade, I have had problems with updates - it will not update on the 1st try - but usually does the 2nd time. I have contacted MS support - got two replies, both which did NOT work. For now, it seems that a manual update is required (twice, one which fails and one which is successful). If they don't acknowledge the problem and find a fix soon, I am considering Avast 5.0. Anyone else experiencing the update problem?

 

Have you tried the registry fix linked in post #10? You could also try and uninstall, reboot, reinstall.

 

Have you tried leaving it alone and not fidgeting with manual updates?

 

works fine for me... running windows 7

 

I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, everything MS Support has suggested with no success. As far as fidgeting with manual updates, it happens on automatic updates, also. See how many others are experiencing the same thing since June 29 upgrade in this link:

http://social.answers.microsoft.com...72b-058e-47ed-8229-bb8187a64155?prof=required

 

What can I say, it works fine for me an millions of other users? Not exactly useful to you.

 

Try the following:
1. stop the windows update service
2. delete the folder c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution\
3. try to update again.
