For all the people who run MSE for AV you should look at downloading the latest release. It has better firewall integration with SPF and a better engine for malware. You can upgrade right over the old MSE. For everyone else who uses AVG or Avast, you should check out MSE.

I expected it'd have popped up during 'Update'.



It didn't.  



Thanks for the alert.

I get the error message that tells me the installer can't find files and wants me to insert a CDROM.... So no 2.0 for me until I fix.

Oh well.

The weird parts for me were:

1.) It didn't show up in the Tuesday update.

B.) It wouldn't update from inside MSE 1.0.2498.0 when I hit the 'Upgrade' button.  It said there were no upgrades.



The link provided above d/l'd the upgrade and installed in W7/64 with no bitches.


tucansam: You got that error from the link?  



Just when I think Microstuff gets their poop all in one pile....

Is this a trial version?

No trial version. It is free full version from Microsoft as long as Windows is a genuine licensed copy for home use.

I don't see anything on that link that says anything about it being version "2", just the regular MSE page.
