Dear Microsoft Support
This issue was raised here and in other forums about a week ago. In brief, it is concerning Windows 7 update KB3193414 which updates Microsoft Security Essentials to version 4.10.205.0. The only available details are these:
When you click the link for more information: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195462 you get this advertisement instead of more details!
In the absence of any official information from Microsoft, users are left in the dark guessing what the purpose or improvements (if any) are in this update. The only noticeable change is that it removes the individual file scan from the context menu, a big disadvantage to an already very limited software.
This question is NOT to ask about how to hide this update and go back to previous version 4.9.218.0 or to propose workarounds for the individual file scan, as these have been answered in other threads. I'm simply asking for some official Microsoft details about this update, and whether this change to context menu scan is intended or just a glitch that will be corrected!
