    Question Problem updating MSSE

    Hi Everyone!

    I have had no previous trouble with Microsoft Sercurity Essentials....

    Yesterday I tried to update the definitions. It went through Search, Download, then about 98% of installation. Then it just quit and went back to screen telling my definitions were not up to date. However, it did say A/V is working and Date of last definitions were from the current date.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but get same result.

    Any ideas ?
    Thanks as always.
    Dave

    Thanks... I'll save that link
    I had to reboot twice and on second boot, MSSE started up just fine, showing itself updated.
    Thanks again,
