Microsoft has released a new version of Security Essentials. This includes new features (but the next version will be even better).

It should auto update, but you can just visit www.microsoft.com/security and download it - it will update your current install.

I use MSE for all my pcs except Linux pcs (I wonder why? lol) its quick and easy to use but i hate how it limits the cpu usage to only 50% but you can change that if need to be. But i find it runs great same with Avast and Avira Antivirus except the popup window lol

People complained Microsoft Security Essentials used up too much CPU during a full scan. Microsoft introduced a feature to allow user to limit how much CPU Microsoft Security Essentials use during a scan, and users complain about it.

"Haters are gonna hate"...
