Office Professional Plus 2010 Microsoft pushes new
 

I used to be one of a number of users of Microsoft;s absolutely free Microsoft Protection Essentials (MSE) anti-malware bundle who obtained notification yesterday that Microsoft needed to push to me a brand new version of MSE.Microsoft prompted users of existing MSE releases (such as versions 1.0.1407.0,Office Professional Plus 2010, 1.0.1500.0,Windows 7 Starter, one.0.1610.0, one.0.1961.0, or an earlier version) to upgrade on June 28. The upgrade — version amount one.0.1963.0 — was marked “Important” or “High Priority.”(A quick refresher on MSE: MSE is Microsoft;s replacement for Windows Live OneCare and a superset of Windows Defender. Microsoft officials have said it is meant for consumers who are unwilling or unable to pay for safety software. There;s a more business-focused,Windows 7 Product Key, paid version of this bundle,Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Key, known as Forefront EndPoint Protection (formerly known as Forefront Client Protection),Office Home And Student 2010 Key, the latest edition of which is due later this year.)There was basically no information in the accompanying Microsoft Knowledge Base article about exactly what;s included in the new MSE update (but plenty of information as to how to click on the upgrade/download tab.So what;s inside? A Microsoft spokesperson sent back this response:“This (MSE) release is a part of the standard update cycle and includes only minor updates and fixes. This update contains some minor enhancements and compatibility fixes to facilitate a seamless upgrade experience to future versions of Microsoft Safety Essentials.”I;ve been using MSE (codenamed ‘Morro”) on my Windows 7 PC to add a layer of virus/malware/spyware protection with next-to-no issues. (The only problems I did have with MSE were when two blocks of memory on my PC were going bad and I encountered a good deal of MSE definition-update problems. Since I replaced the memory, MSE has been working fine.)If anyone has any more info on what;s in the newest MSE update, let us all know….
