Download Microsoft Security Essentials Beta 2

Microsoft Security Essentials – A free anti-virus, on which I rely and even prefer others to use, continues to satisfy my needs of security related to PC and data. As I posted earlier “Best Antivirus Software – 2009”, no doubt it continues to win race for this year too.

I have good news for fans and for new adopters that “Microsoft Security Essentials Beta 2” is out now in public and you can test it. A lot of new features are also added to this beta version, with new improved engine and enhanced protection for web-based threats.

Well the new Beta version of MSE includes these new features and enhancements to better help protect your computer from threats:

• Windows® Firewall integration: Microsoft Security Essentials setup allows you to turn on Windows Firewall automatically.
• Enhanced protection from web-based threats: Microsoft Security Essentials has enhanced integration with Internet Explorer® which helps prevent malicious scripts from running and provides improved protection against web based attacks.
• New and improved protection engine: The updated engine offers enhanced detection and cleanup capabilities and better performance.
  

You can download this beta from here: https://connect.microsoft.com/securityessentials . Visit the Microsoft Connect page to register for the beta. Once completed – you will find the instructions for downloading and installing the beta. And if you want to use stable version of MSE then download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

* For Windows XP users: Please note that the network inspection system feature will not be enabled on Windows XP. This is because the network inspection system requires the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) in order to run, and WFP is only available in Windows Vista and Windows 7. However, if you are running Windows XP, you can still use all other beta features.
