Microsoft Security Essentials: A new version for

The publisher updates its virus free. It has launched a campaign to test a limited number of users.
By the end of the year, Microsoft will offer an update of its free antivirus. Since yesterday, some of its users can test the next version of Security Essentials. The editor had invited to register for this phase of beta testing a week ago.
Those who wish can download Security Essentials 4.0.1111.0 on Microsoft Connect site (subject to an account). Two editions are available for platforms AMD and Intel. Note that those who had the French version of the software must be uninstalled to run the beta, available in English.

Microsoft says that this new version is fully functional and it will feature updates, provided that Microsoft Update is set to automatic mode. The testers will occasionally receive e-mails from the publisher asking them to answer a few questions. At the end of the campaign, the final version of the software will be automatically installed.
Difficult at this stage to account for improvements in this new edition of Security Essentials. Microsoft announces simplifications in the GUI (which does not jump in the eyes), stronger protections and better performance.
