Microsoft has released a new version of its Security Essentials software for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs.



From All About Microsoft:

The 4.0 version has been in beta since late 2011. As ZDNet sister site TechRepublic reported back in December 2011, Microsoft officials said the 4.0 release would include a streamlined interface; a renamed version of the SpyNet service (now slated to be known as Microsoft Active Protection Services); new automatic remediation functionality; and overall improved performance and detection capabilities.

I’ve asked Microsoft officials if there’s anything else worth noting that is part of the new release.
