Microsoft security essentials fails to update

broken image

These are the results found in tests run by The H's associates at heise Security for the latest edition of the computer magazine c't. As a result, the software no longer offers adequate protection against new malware. Under certain circumstances, Microsoft's recently launched Security Essentials (MSE) security solution fails to download updates for several days, despite new anti-virus signatures being available on the server. No, 10 day-old signatures are NOT up to date and do NOT offer adequate protection.
