#MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS DEFINITION UPDATES DOWNLOAD THE NEW FOR IOS WINDOWS 10#

I recall an MSFN post at least 2 years ago showing that MSE 4.4 was not very good at preventing download of a test file from AMTSO. Also, Microsoft has no reason to care whether or not their definition and engine updates for 4.10 would work properly with 4.4, which is dead as far as they are concerned.

It was only after Windows 10 was released in 2015 that MSE became known as a pretty good antivirus (MSE 4.8 if I remember correctly). True, it did not have a “time bomb” to prevent use on XP or Vista after their respective EOL dates. That version was released in 2013 before Microsoft ended support for XP. I have good reasons to doubt that statement, and cannot endorse the idea of using 4.4.304.0 on Vista now.

No, and you obviously cannot get it from Microsoft, which has only offered 4.10.209.0 for the last 5 years. Perhaps those guys are just too smart to need an antivirus? (He uses legacy version 18.0.0.405 that supported vanilla Vista, but he also had problems with earlier versions of the kernel.) If there is an antivirus that actually works well with the extended kernel now, no one at MSFN has bothered to mention it yet. Soon after that, a Kaspersky user reported crashes. Soon after the latest version of the extended kernel was released, an Avast user posted to say “Avast Antivirus REALLY doesn’t like the new version.” I wish he had given more details, because Avast 18.8 is a good choice for vanilla Vista and I believe it worked with earlier versions of the kernel. Whereas the best thing about the extended kernel is that it allows you to use more modern and secure browsers than you could use on vanilla Vista, the worst thing about it in my opinion (having followed the MSFN threads) is that it appears to break what little antivirus support vanilla Vista still has. One the other hand, I almost hope I am wrong about MSE 4.4 because you are using the extended kernel. (You might want to try that test yourself.)
