Today I got notification to upgrade my Microsoft Security Essential installation. Frankly speaking, I like its weightless operation on my Windows 7 system.

After Upgrade, version info:

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

 

Then What is new in this version? As per Microsoft latest version is having improved messaging, scan reports and have few performance improvements. Now the new version also assure running the “Windows Activation Technology” for it. Not much clear with the last line :(
