Windows SC

[BertiWooster]

Windows Security center states the following -

'' Microsoft Security Essentials reports that it is turned off ''

However MSE says it's on when you open it up .

Do I just ignore the Windows Security Centre message ?

I've not got a definite answer for you....

But I had the same problem with windows 7 and kaspersky a few weeks ago, I run some checks (downloaded the eicar virus test file) and kaspersky still picked it up, so I ignored the WSC message.

A couple of weeks later (following a windows update) the problem fixed itself...

So..... I'd suggest, firstly, doing a full windows update and see if that sorts it.

That's sorted it

thanks

Microsoft Security Essentials updates with your automatic updates and this message is one of the pitfalls of this program . Like Chuck said make sure you update your computer regularly to prevent this message. This was one thing that was brougt to the attention of Microsoft after the program was released but as of late no action has been taken.This will happen also if you dont use your computer for a few says or longer. Just make sure you have your computer's automatic updates set to download at a time when you are using your computer.
