The Real (and Virtual) Adventures of Nathan the IT Guy » MSE 2 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/information-technology Tue, 21 May 2013 19:15:30 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Microsoft Releases Security Essentials 2 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/information-technology/microsoft-releases-security-essentials-2/ http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/information-technology/microsoft-releases-security-essentials-2/#comments Mon, 20 Dec 2010 20:34:02 +0000 Nathan Simon http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/information-technology/microsoft-releases-security-essentials-2/ Microsoft released v.2 of their antivirus application, unannounced, not sure why. Maybe it wasn’t a major release to them, but when you change the primary number, from 1 to 2, I would consider that a major release! I first learned about it off my iPhone via Pulse. So I am not passing it onto my readers, I do have readers don’t I? :)

A few of the updates to be noted are that they improved Windows Firewall integration, you can now inspect traffic as you surf, and they added a better heuristic scanning engine.

Even though going here doesn’t show any sign of updates, if you “Download Now” you will get Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0.
