Link leads to MSE 4.9 as of April 15, 2016. The previous version can be downloaded from. If I decide to install 4.9, I will post here about any changes in the GUI. I have checked Seven Forums, but so far there are no reports similar to yours. Since you have experienced difficulty with the update, I have decided to delay installing it for now. As far as I know, no independent lab has conducted tests featuring Windows Defender 4.9 yet. Technical Title: Microsoft Security Essentials Vista 64-bit 4.10.209 for Windows File size: 15. Full Specifications What's new in version 4.10.209 Version. Microsoft Security Essentials runs quietly and efficiently in the background so that you are free to use your Windows-based PC the way you want - without interruptions or long computer wait times. But it offers effective protection with minimal fuss, for free. Interestingly, the Engine Version (0.0) and Network Inspection Engine Version (4.0) are exactly the same as MSE 4.8, which seems to suggest that 4.9 is not a major advance. Microsoft Security Essentials 64-bit isn't flashy on purpose. I have found that Windows Defender for 8 and 10 - which by all accounts is almost identical to MSE - received an update 6.0 at least 3 months ago. On the other hand, the previous version 4.8.204.0 (KB3063917, May 2015) was recognized as a tremendous improvement (see ). On the one hand, it is generally a good idea to keep security software up to date. As you have found, Microsoft does not post documentation for MSE updates. Your post last night was the first I heard of this program update for MSE.
