I thought it was version 4.2.223 still?

I'll see what I can find.

About 2 months ago, on 15th May 2013 this was announced.

Since then there have been updates on MSE Pre-release 4.3.x and were mostly minor bugfixes.

MSE 4.3.215 could be the Final release of MSE 4.3.x including more bugfixes.

I may not be accurate, but this is what I gathered from the MSE Pre-release Forums.

I downloaded it since it was available in my Control Panel, 'Available Important Updates' . No info what type of changes though.

Microsoft never release Public changelogs. But do check your PM.

This version should be available to anybody since it was shown on my "WINDOWS UPDATE" screen. Did anybody check their updates?

So far there are no downloads available for this version on Microsoft, every downloaded file was 4.2.223.0.
Windows Defender on Windows 8, goes by the same version number as MSE.
Checked Windows Update on my laptop and this version was not listed.

Checked on updates on Windows Defender and it said it was updated, current version 4.2.223.0.

Nothing on Google either.

Thanks.

That was the first thing I checked, but I couldn't find anything as well.

Well, the changelog is in the link I provided, other than that I can't say no more.

I have the KBxxxxxxx Definition # for the 4.3.215 if you need it. Found out that it was posted as the previous 4.2.223.0 number.

Sure what is the KB #? I believe this is an update patch not a new version.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what is going on with this update, I found some other users on Google which also got this update in their Windows Updates, but it appears that most users didn't get it.

According to all the info I can find, this is a pre-release not a final version.

Microsoft appears to have remove details for KB2855265, maybe the update was recalled because of problems and Microsoft just didn't let anyone know.

I have two systems running MSE and neither one got this update from Windows Updates.

Download links on Microsoft are still hosting v.4.2.223.0 but you can get the pre-release from Softpedia.

Enjoy!!

LOL!

Stupid MS

It looks like Microsoft withdrawn this update- http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/update-for-microsoft-security-essentials-432150/87ce1845-9fcd-4e89-8734-b29ad836a628

I downloaded the catalog package which includes separate installers in all languages unmarked total of 789 MB (66 Files). I'm still trying to find the English installer since all are listed as English but they are all different languages.

Thanks.
