Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 Released

Greg writes with this excerpt from Ars Techica: "Following a four-month beta program, Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) 2.0 has been released. The new version significantly revamps the heuristic scanning engine, adds Windows Firewall integration as well as network traffic inspection. The update unquestionably makes MSE, which has already become very popular due to its quiet but effective ways, even more of a must-have for Windows users. MSE has always been very good at finding and removing malware, but it has relied mainly on antimalware definitions. The improved heuristic engine makes it even better at detecting threats; at the same time, we expect the number of false positives to slightly increase as well. The new Windows Firewall integration is a minor improvement: it lets you tweak Microsoft's firewall from inside MSE."

Great news! But...

I suppose that either I'm out of luck using Ubuntu
or did anyone manage to make it run under Wine yet?

Security by inception

Leonardo DiCaprio, think about that for a second.

Did you feel the magic in his eyes, straddling over the table, saying "I've come back for you, to remind you, something....something you once knew..."

Now, do you feel this inceptive magic in MSE 2.0?

No you don't.

MSE is a perception, designed to lure you into a imaginary forte.

You know it is true.

Now, what you need is two strong eyes. A real insurance that you will be safe.

This is exactly what Leonardo can give you.

My biggest concern about MSE is that it's released by Microsoft.

I read no more, your post is a troll. It does not relate in any way to the actual product, which has been well recieved, and is in fact no more that a mindless Micro$oft Hate post with no real value.
