Rjpfrancais Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Are you sure there's a new version? Version 2.0 was launched late last year. The current version is 2.0.657. I can't find any information on the Microsoft site about version 2.1.0.116.And as a matter of principal, I wouldn't download Security Essentials from anywhere other than Microsoft's own site at;www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/How do you know that the download on fileforum.betanews is legit?

Rjpfrancais Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 @Jay And the link you gave confirms that the current version version is 2.0.657.0So it stills begs the question; Is the original link provided by pachapappa pointing to a bogus "new" version?I'm not pretending that I know the answer but I'm sure that I will only be downloading Security Essentials updates from www.microsoft.com and nowhere else.@pachapappa;http://mse.dlservice.microsoft.comhttp://answers.microsoft.com/do not look like legit Microsoft sites to me so I would not advise anyone to download updates from them!!This site does look legit;http://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/security_essentials/default.aspxBUT it doesn't say anything about a new version 2.1.1116. So where did you (pachapappa) cut and paste the file title, version, filename etc. details from?This is after all SECURITY software we're talking about. I think it is prudent to be very careful where you download updates from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjpfrancais Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 @pachapapa I'm sorry you've decided to take your MSE ball away and not play anymore, but that's your perogative of course.My point was and is that I would caution against downloading updates from anywhere other than the official www.microsoft.com site.Sites with names like http://mse.dlservice.microsoft.com are NOT bona fide Microsoft sites, even though part of the name suggests they might be.

If you go through the official Microsoft website and download the software it takes you to exactly where pachapapa has given the direct URL for.

Rjpfrancais Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm not sure why pachapapa feels the need to throw a hissy fit, or indeed why Quillan felt the need to wade in.My points stand;a) Why take the risk of downloading Security Essentials via any website other than www.microsoft.com/security_essentials ??b) I still can't see anything that states there's a new version available.Don't worry, if someone comes along and proves me wrong on both counts (via informed argument hopefully) I won't get all upset and stomp off in a sulk ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1steveuk Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 From what I can see, it's no so much of an update as another attempt by Microsoft to get Microsoft Windows Genuine checker on your system. I hate the thing with a vengance (Genuine Checker that is) as it pops up everytime you open word and insists that your copy isn't genuine, even though I KNOW I brought the thing. They did it with Vista too and I'm sure it's a Gates ploy to get you to buy a newer Mircosoft Office programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
