Security Essentials wasn't interested in my opinion at all. Not with Security Essentials. Not only was 'Quarantine' the recommended action, it was the only action. With other programs, it was a trivial thing to whitelist the Nirsoft software. MSE is not the first anti-malware program to object to software from Mr. One of his programs, Mailpassview, was detected by Security Essentials as a medium level threat. I am a big fan of the free, portable software provided by Nir Sofer at. I had no experience with MSE on Windows 7, and the first time I ran a full scan with it, there was a false positive (above).
Microsoft Security Essentials found a Medium level threat You are far better off downloading it from this page, which offers multiple languages and clear choices between 32 and 64 bit.Ĭonsidering recent events, a full scan with Security Essentials is probably called for. If you search for Microsoft Security Essentials with your favorite search engine, you may end up at this download page which forces you to chose between an amd64 version and an x86 version without explaining what the terms mean.
