eL_PuSHeR Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Interesting. Thanks Hazelnut. Right now the engine version reads 1.1.10904.0 Too bad it seems there isn't any visible changelog as far as MSE is concerned. By the way: For these people claiming MSE isn't very effective, I am testing a four combo security setup: MSE + Adblockplus + Mirage Antibot + Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Everything is free and it seems to work quite well. I haven't got a virus in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Aha. It's not the 'Help' link, it's the small 'down arrow' link NEXT to 'Help'. Sneaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 MSE engine has been silently updated to version 1.1.11005.0 I think it was one or two days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I turn off my PC every night, yet I see updates performed at 1am, 2am, etc. We're never really "off", are we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eL_PuSHeR Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Microsoft Security Essentials updated to version 4.7.205.0 Under Windows 8.1, Windows Defender is still 4.6.x.x And, judging from the capture below, MS hasn't noticed we are in 2015 now.

Willy2 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 BRITEC tested a number of AV programs and MSE didn't do "too well".

Moderators mta Posted February 22, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2015 MSE didn't do "too well". that's an understatement! out of a possible 199 files it only found 24, whereas Avast, AVG and Comodo all averaged around 110. now, of course, we have no idea what his 'malware' folder contained and their age, and we only saw it from one angle (his), but still, if I were using MSE I'd be having a little shiver in my boots.

eL_PuSHeR Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Isn't that test from 2013? I have Windows Defender/MSE installed on all my machines (including the ones at work) and I have not seen a virus in ages. I don't rely too much on those (probably biased) AV comparatives. For me, the best AV software is the less annoying. Using your brain a following some security guidelines should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have Windows Defender/MSE installed on all my machines (including the ones at work) and I have not seen a virus in ages. Are those computers behind a router ? If so, then that on its own a "Infection killer".

trium Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've read that in windows instead of the normal ms defender was an anti-virus defender installed 8.1. can i turn off the virusscanner in defender and use the "normal" defender against malicious programs? (with this avscanner in defender is defender deaktivated throught the installed av-prog.)

Willy2 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 In Win 7 & Vista there 2 programs to defend one's system against malware: Windows Defender & MS security Essentials. In - at least - these 2 OS these are complementary programs, both have a separate task. In Win 8 (and I assume in newer OS as well) "Windows Defender" combines the functionality of the "old" Windows Defender & MSE.

Willy2 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Just open the GUI of MSE or Windows Defender and see if there any possibilities to tweak the program. (Is that possible ?

trium Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 with my installed av i cant open defender... i dont know, how i could open this. but in my reminder without av, there are no adjust options to deactivate the av-function in ms defender and use only against malicious progs Versions of CCleaner Cloud; Introduction Ccleaner Cloud; Ccleaner-->System-Requirements; Ccleaner FAQ´s; Ccleaner builds; Scheduling Ccleaner Free Es ist möglich, keine Fehler zu machen und dennoch zu verlieren.

Moderators mta Posted February 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2015 if you have a 3rd party AV, Windows Defender is automatically turned off and will not monitor your PC. you wouldn't want two AV programs running simultaneously.
