Microsoft Security Essential Version Differences


Recommended Posts

Both are the same when its all said and done. They are BOTH Betas :) As long as the updates are done you are okay. NO need to install and reinstall everything anytime a "new" release is out. I understand official but they both work.

Check the posting from Mary Jo Foley over at All About Microsoft regarding this What's up with that Microsoft Security Essentials beta build number?

I asked Microsoft why the ?new? beta is a build older than the one that leaked. A spokesperson sent the following response:

?The Microsoft Security Essentials Beta build 1.0.1407.00 available to consumers in the U.S., Brazil, and Israel at www.microsoft.com/security_essentials is the most current version available for public download. An earlier leaked build was derived from the core Microsoft Security Essentials code and will be used for further testing, however this branch does not represent the newest beta code available to users.? (Note: The spokesperson means the newest officially sanctioned test release, as the build last week is, indeed, more recent.)

Can anyone post the SHA1 values for the official beta builds?
