Windows 7 - Windows Security Essentials 1.0 Error

AlexT2889 · 06-29-2009

Has anyone else encountered this error before? I couldn't update my Definitions for awhile and Windows Update found the latest one (1.61.628.0) and then Home page said "Not connected". I also get the error while trying to Upgrade MSE as what the Microsoft Help page mentions.

Are you connected to the internet the whole time you're updating?

AlexT2889 · 06-29-2009

Well i've gotten that error when i was piggybacking off of a neighbor and lost wifi connection.

So what you're saying is that not only does WU find the update but also downloads it when MSE can't?

Yep that is correct.

Though, I am not piggybacking anyone, I'm on my own wifi connection which never ever closes down or anything (Guess Comcast loves me

)
