Hi,

Both my systems are telling me today that there is a new version of Windows
Defender available for download (Defender Icon shows message symbol and
message is on main Defender start screen). I click download, and get the
Defender home page, where all I see is the old Beta2 thich I'm already
running.

I have Version 1.1.1051.0, Engine 1.1.1481.0 and Sig 1.14.1525.2 on one
machine (XP), and my x64 Win2003 machine has the same also, though the 64-bit
version.

To be clear, this isn't a definitions update, those I get on a regularl
basis via Windows Update. Is there a new release or not? Is the link just not
updated on the Microsoft site yet?

Thanks,

Wayne
 
No it isn't. The newest version is as follows:

Version 1.1.1347.0
Engine Version 1.1.1481.0
Definition Version 1.14.1518.10

Hopes this helps.
 
Ok so where do we obtain this update? Or did microsoft just presume we'd
reinstall Defender 2 all over again?
 
What are the changes in this upgrade? Why should I install it? Does it
contain spyware to report my activities back to microsoft? I didn't find any
information in the WD pages.
Thanks.
 
umm mine is

Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1347.0

Engine Version: 1.1.1481.0

Definition Version: 1.14.1525.2
