nsane.forums Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Microsoft announced a beta for the next generation of Microsoft Security Essentials today. Available immediately, the new version includes a new protection engine and inspection system. The beta version includes the following features: Windows Firewall integration – During setup, Microsoft Security Essentials will now ask if you would like to turn the Windows Firewall on or off. Enhanced protection for web-based threats – Microsoft Security Essentials now integrates with Internet Explorer to provide protection against web-based threats. New protection engine – The updated anti-malware engine offers enhanced detection and cleanup capabilities with better performance. Network inspection system – Protection against network-based exploits is now built in to Microsoft Security Essentials. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is designed to work on Windows XP, Vista and 7 and protects end users against virus threats and spy ware. MSE is Microsoft's free anti-virus and anti-spyware product that replaced Microsoft's paid Windows Live OneCare subscription service which was withdrawn last year. Neowin exclusively revealed Security Essentials in June, 2009 when it was codenamed "Morro". The beta is available now at Microsoft's Connect download site.

JusperX Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I am using Security Essentials on XP SP3 and had no problems at all.I also use ESS on my other computer and had issues with the protection that ESS offers.. I had malware etc, and this with Vista SP2 x64.To be honest, Security Essentials is a very good alternative choice! And it works along with Oupost firewall very well! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioActive Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 MS's essential crap wareI'm pretty sure you're wrong, it might not be the best but it's certainly not "crap".I wish they include a better firewall in future releases to replace the basic windows firewall.
