Something else interesting about MS AV products: the free-for-home-and-small- business version of MSE was just used to roll out a new-and-improved version of WGA/WAT. ------- Included Stuff Follows ------- MSE Users: Check for Updates, Piracy - Krebs on Security http://www.krebsonsecurity.com/2010/03/mse-users-check-for-updates/ It took a little digging, but here´s Microsoft´s account of what´s new in this updated version of MSE: The latest version of Microsoft Security Essentials includes improved messaging on the Update tab, improved scan reports on the Home tab, performance improvements, and enforcement of runtime Windows Activation Technology (WAT) in Microsoft Security Essentials. More here. --------- Included Stuff Ends --------- I was very upset to see this, as I have been recommending MSE to my home and very-small-business clients. I have been keeping WGA/WAT off all the machines I could because when it has problems, the users have a problem. MSE is no longer on my list of recommended applications for anyone. IMHO, YMMV, of course.
