Passing along betas of freeware = srs business :unsure:

Trust me, I believe it is completely ridiculous to not allow others to pass along freeware regardless of its state (beta/rc/final, etc) but Microsoft makes the rules, not me. :(

I got an E-mail as well since I was in the previous beta. I'm not sure if I'm going to get in on this round of testing. I'm trying to decide which AV to use full-time: Avast Free of MSE. I like 'em both.

I had MSE on my laptop but had a few slow scan times and not as much control as I would have liked. Have moved to Avast free v5beta today, and it feels a lot lighter than MSE, also picked up another malware which MSE didnt ... will stick with Avast for now and watch MSE from the sidelines until they improve it.

What kind of malware was it and where did you get it from?

******,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Connect Help (******@microsoft.com) and for your interest in testing Microsoft products!

I will forward your email to the MSE team. The invitation ID provided in the email was ***-****-****. You can input that invitation ID on the Connect homepage under 'Were You Invited to join Connect?'.

So they are aware of the issue with the invites.

Mine is still Microsoft Security Essentials Version: 1.0.1611.0

Have forced an update, as well as an upgrade from Help > Upgrade, but nothing yet. Or is this an update to the beta currently being tested?

you cant upgrade from stable release to preview release .

you should have the beta build(1611+ *sorry couldn't remember the exact build*) to get the new beta (build 1743)

      The auto industry really needs to update it's terminology so a software update isn't called a recall.

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.
