Rocky Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Microsoft Security Essentials wanted to update to a new version tonight (full, not just a virus definition). When it was updating I must have clicked cancel by mistake as it went though an abort. Now though I try and update it and it says it is the uptodate version Help > About Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.1961.0 Antimalware Client Version: 2.1.6519.0 Engine Version: 1.1.5502.0 Antivirus definitions: 1.77.667.0 Antispyware definitions: 1.77.667.0 What is yours?

firefly2442 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Is this built into Windows 7? I ran the about for Windows Defender and got this: Client Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Engine Version: 1.1.5502.0 Antispyware definitions: 1.77.575.0 Dunno if they're similar or different though.

CR6 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Is this built into Windows 7? I ran the about for Windows Defender and got this: Dunno if they're similar or different though. Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials are different "products" Windows Defender has been included with Vista and Win7 from Day 1 and is more an antispyware product MSE is a free antivirus which also includes antispyware, and is an evolution of Microsoft's previous OneCare product that you had to pay for. On my Win XP 32-bit install, before the product update I had: Definitions created on: 3/8/2010 Virus definitions version: 1.77.575.0 Spyware definitions version: 1.77.575.0 After the product update I got: Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.1961.0 Antimalware Client Version: 2.1.6519.0 Engine Version: 1.1.5502.0 Antivirus definitions: 1.77.691.0 Antispyware definitions: 1.77.691.0 BTW, if you have installed Microsoft Update on XP, the usual "patch Tuesday" updates will automatically update your MSE client version. Otherwise, MSE will notify you that there is a new version available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
