I'm sure, most of you would've updated already by now. But thought i'd post the update here. Can't find a changelog yet though.

Afaik it has new popup messages regarding the new Windows Activation Technology (new WGA) routine check, whether the OS is considered legal by Microsoft.
No idea about any enhancements... -
-
Maybe they fixed the hash error
But why not the Microsoft Link?
Or is that still the old file?

Did this version fix the automatic update (not updating after sleep, hibernate) issue?
-
-
-
It did fix the hash issue for me - logged as Even 5038 by the way.
Removed old MSE with Revo - then installed the new one. -
I used the upgrade method within MSE and it says my version 1.0.1611.0 is the latest.
-
-
-
I also tried the upgrade method from the old version but keeps saying the 1.0.1611.0 is the latest.
Ended up removing old MSSE via the uninstall route and installed the new version.
It's odd the upgrade feature is not working properly though. -
-
-
If you go to MS website and download MSE v1.0.1611.0 is what you'll get. They'll eventually post the newer version so I can wait. -
-
-
The 1.0.19 version was posted on MS website and the upgrade feature from within 1.0.16 still didn't register it.
That was days after the new version was posted. -
The latest version is 1.0.1961.0 from MS website.

I prefer Avast 5 , MSE does not warn/block spyware/mallware form downloading when you visit some websites.
-
I'm going to give Avast 5 a try. -

MSE also does not scan emails , though some people say this function is not needed as the mail server will scan them, but i prefer to scan them myself.
-
My thoughts about Avast 5 vs MSE is that it's a little more resource and process heavy over MSE. But the interface update for Avast 5 is long overdue and looks utterly fantastic.
They did a great job where NOW you know where to find things. At present i'm running both A5 and MSE. -
edit: 1.0.1961.0 is currently only for x86. x64 is still 1.0.1959. -
1.0.1961.0 (64 bit) also out now.

Dont know why, but it didnt update via the ugrade component. Had to manually download and install. -
EDIT: The MSE window says it scans all downloaded files and attachments. -
I had no idea what vrm.exe was until I Googled it. Needless to say MSE let me down that time. Now I can't say if Avast 5 would have been any better because I wasn't using it. -

If you still have the vrm.exe file upload it to virustotal.com and see what scanner would have detected it.

No antivirus software protects people from their own stupidity.

It's officially out now, showed up on Windows Update for me.

Even so, it only appeared via Windows Live Update for me earlier tonight.

How to check which version is installed?
-
-
-
Thanks. For some reason I thought that triangle is linked to help.
-
Anyone else having an annoying problem since installing the latest MSE build where MSE keeps setting off "Windows Update"? Instead of just updating the definitions, Windows Update now tells me to update the definitions every day.

My advice is to uninstall MSE and install Avast 5 free
-
-
I could try that, or I'm debating whether to install Avast 5, which I use on my other systems.
-
-
-
-
This doesn't sound like the solution I'm looking for. :/ -
For the record they are appearing for me in WU as well but under "optional updates". -
-
Just found this on another forum. I'm not alone, and MS is aware of the problem.

"Please be assured our developers do recognize this issue and are working on it. As this issue has been hard-coded in the program, it will take us some time to modify it. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we are working on this"
MSE v1.0.1959 out.
