Security professionals were used to more turnkey endpoint security management platforms. Microsoft stopped selling OneCare in the consumer market. Although it replaced OneCare with Microsoft Security Essentials a free alternative many people were spooked by this change of plans.
With Microsoft out of the consumer market, why would it stick around the commercial market? Microsoft Forefront "Stirling," the next-generation product was delayed by several years. Microsoft re-organized and cut back its Forefront marketing.
On average, Forefront was a "B" player in most independent security product testing. Most recently, Microsoft Forefront was characterized as a "niche" product in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. Most likely there was sub-plot to these issues on the sales side of the house.

Agents that report to that Windows Server Update Services server can download the definitions by using any one of the following methods:. Similar to Microsoft Update, there is detection logic that is associated with each update. This detection logic allows Windows Server Update Services to provide only the definition update package that is most suitable for the agent. As described in the Rebase definitions section, the content of the base definitions and the engine do not change between rebases.
For this reason, the base definitions and the engine are offered to agents once a month. When viewing file information in the WSUS administration console the list contains the packages described in the Recent Definitions section below. New definition update packages are usually published to Windows Server Update Services three times per day. The frequency at which these updates are available to computers depends upon the frequency that the WSUS server synchronizes with Microsoft and how updates are approved for deployment.
Manual Download Some definition updates are currently available for a manual download from Microsoft at two locations. The following knowledge base article describes how to manually download the released definitions. These definitions usually correspond to the versions available by using Microsoft Update and by using Windows Server Update Services.
Be aware that currently only the full installation packages are available. These definitions are published more frequently and may not correspond to the versions published to Microsoft Update. Definition updatesThe type of definition update an agent performs is determined by how up-to-date it is with current definitions published by Microsoft.
Agents that have updated recently will download and apply only very small changes whereas new agents will need to download the full definition installation to become up-to-date.
Description The full installation is generally only for new antimalware agents or for agents with definitions that have not been updated for more than a month. After download and installation, if computers are kept up-to-date they should not be required to apply the full installation again. Size Generally, the size is from MB, depending on several factors. These factors include the duration since the last rebase and include the number of changes since the last rebase.
Description Agents that are using files of the previous month will receive a binary delta update of the engine and base definitions. The binary delta updates contain only the parts of the base files and of the engine files that have changed since the previous version. For more information about the Microsoft binary delta update technology used in this package, view the following TechNet article: Delta Compression Application Programming Interface Size Generally, the size of this installation is from MB, depending on several factors.
