Microsoft's Free Av Software Is Not A Public Beta!


Recommended Posts

If I Can Ask Another Question, Is This Build That I Just Downloaded From Softpedia The Official Beta, Or Is Is Some Interim Build Of Some Kind?

Every leaked build auto-updates to the latest version, it doesn't really matter where you get it.

why is MS demanding a high ram requirements even the antivirus itself is just using 3mb of ram in standby and 6 mb while scanning

It actually uses between 30 and 60MB (and probably a fair bit more depending on what it is scanning). Your numbers are just for the GUI.

MSE run in two services/process.... 3-6MB and 30-50MB...

Microsoft will modify that in next beta stage... I suppose

Why would they change that? The purpose of it is to run the GUI with user privileges while the engine runs elevated.

Unless I'm completely missing your point.

I dunno, I'm enjoying my copy right now. I think it was fairly public. You were just to slow.

Aye, I'm enjoying mine too; grabbed it early because I knew the downloads were going to "sly off the shelves", so to speak, pretty quickly. :)

Unless they have express permission from Microsoft, which I doubt, it is illegal for them to be distributing MSE

Thats right...

The distribution of MSE is not authorized
