For those MSE fans ... Beta program! :)

New Microsoft Security Essentials beta inbound - Neowin.net

It looks like Microsoft is getting close to releasing a new version of Microsoft Security Essentials, as some Microsoft Connect participants are being invited to join a new Microsoft Security Essentials Public Beta program. Microsoft vaguely state that the newest MSE beta will have “the latest protection features”, and the beta program itself will “start soon” after you accept the invitation.

Hmmm, Win8 8102 DP Defender additions? ;)

I got my invite. Heck, I gotta stay up on this stuff but, in the meantime, on Win8 8102 DP, I'll keep running Defender.

On Win7, I'll stay with AVG ... for now ...
 
First impression..... Well, it's MSE, it works. Nothing to get excited about.

But then again antivirus should be unobtrusive.

One gripe I have with all antivirus is that they all use port 80 to update meaning I if I block port 80 it can't update.
