MSE Scanning

Hi,

I've got MSE installed on my computer and it's reporting as potentially unprotected becuase I've not run a scan for a while.

I've run full scans on all my drives and it's still reporting the same.

Any ideas?

Have you updated definitions / got it set to auto update?

Yep - it's all up-to-date.

The windows security centre reporting isn't always correct. I"d just ignore it. Turn that report off and turn it back on again and see if it detects that MSE is installed & up-to-date... I wouldn't worry so long as YOU know its up-to-date

used to have this problem with AVG ,hilarious that MS security center doesn't recognise it's own security program though

I also used to have the same issue with AVG (which is why I advised to ignore Windoze)

And yes...Its highly laughable that Windows doesn't recognise an MS product...

It's not the defs / sigs - it the scanning it's moaning about!

...and to just return to this one...

Apart from doing another scan on the 7/12/2010 - it's been reported as green / protected since then. Very odd.
