Microsoft announced a beta for the next generation of Microsoft Security Essentials today.
Available immediately, the new version includes a new protection engine and inspection system. The beta version includes the following features:
Windows Firewall integration – During setup, Microsoft Security Essentials will now ask if you would like to turn the Windows Firewall on or off.
Enhanced protection for web-based threats – Microsoft Security Essentials now integrates with Internet Explorer to provide protection against web-based threats.
New protection engine – The updated anti-malware engine offers enhanced detection and cleanup capabilities with better performance.
Network inspection system – Protection against network-based exploits is now built in to Microsoft Security Essentials.
Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is designed to work on Windows XP, Vista and 7 and protects end users against virus threats and spy ware. MSE is Microsoft's free anti-virus and anti-spyware product that replaced Microsoft's paid Windows Live OneCare subscription service which was withdrawn last year.
The beta is available now at Microsoft's Connect (http://redirectingat.com/?id=2728X590260&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgo.microsoft.com%2Ffwlink%2F%3FLinkId%3D197385&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.neowin.net%2Fnews%2Fmicrosoft-releases-beta-for-next-version-of-security-essentials) download site.
