Hey guys, When you get Build 7955 test it by loading malware onto it. Install Microsoft Security Essentials and see if MSE blocks the malware on it. A good place to get malware is support.clean-mx.de/clean-mx/viruses.php Once you have downloaded the malware.. test it.. if it doesnt bring up an alert, send the file as a sample to the Microsoft Malware Protection Center team via microsoft.com/security/portal/Submission/Submit.aspx Thanks!!! The more people that do this, the more secure Windows 8 will be when it comes to viruses and malware!
Malware and Virus's constantly evolve. Doing this on an old build 1-2 years before release won't do anything really. Thats why we get hot-fix's/security updates in WU.
The point is securing the OS to not have as many hot fixes and security updates after launch.. a strong working build at RTM is the best thing.. so why not get started now?
I honestly believe installing AVs on betas is pure paranoia. I mean if you're going to use it as a primary os, fine, but other than that...
Still, please put them into a ZIP archive and submit them to Microsoft for analysis via microsoft.com/security/portal/Submission/Submit.aspx
Sorry, but... Do You really wanna have a secure OS ? If so, why are you talking about using a BS like MSE ? Yeah... it's free... it's nice... it's easy to use... and it's not using lots of resources... SURE!!! Its security level is as good as a thin slice of Gruyère Cheese...
Anybody who requires that much security shouldn't be on a Windows based machine. MSE works fine for 95% of the rest of the world.
Hello Microsoft. I'm submitting a virus report for the OS that none of us are supposed to have yet. Hope you don't mind........ Seriously , thread closed.
