1/4/2024 0 Comments Security essentials 32 bitIn my next blog I’ll cover the actual application. MSE Beta has the same “tent” icon in the systray I’m going to restart this time and continue. I’m going to restart like it wants but before I had a chance to do that Windows is brought up the Windows Update window wanting me to restart. To see if MSE was actually working I downloaded the EICAR test virus and although I received no prompts from MSE it did remove the EICAR test virus. The first thing I checked was the service and yup, it’s running. I was curious to see if MSE was running even though there wasn’t a MSE icon in the systray. For testing I’m not going to restart just yet. It took about 2 minutes to upgrade my netbook. There will be short points in time where no anti-virus is installed, MSE is off, Windows will see that Windows Defender is off with nothing to replace it, and MSE is out of date. Toward the end of the install Security Center barked a few times but it’s doing it’s job. I like how I’m given a choice to use the Windows Firewall or not if I have another product. With that information they’ll be able to improve their products and services. The more users that join means the more Microsoft will learn about what is really going on out in the wild. I would recommend joining the Customer Experience Improvement Program. Of course I reviewed every word of the License Agreement and clicked I accept. Some beta products require you to uninstall your old products but not this one. What I like here is you get the option to upgrade, not uninstall your old product and install a new product. Yay for UAC (no screenshot)!Īfter UAC you’ll get the typical Welcome Screen. The first thing you’ll get when starting the installer is the User Account Control box. I’ll be installing the 32-bit package on my netbook replacing my current and reliable Microsoft Security Essentials. A 32-bit package and a you guessed it 64-bit package. I’ll be installing MSE Beta today and showing you how simple and smoothly it’s going to go. I plan on working with FEP (that’s what I’m calling it) soon but until then I wanted to get my hands dirty with MSE on my personal netbook. Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 Beta was released recently along with Microsoft Security Essentials Beta.
