MSE claims not run lately AFTER a scan

While during my weekly checks and updates on my PC I found that MSE says it has not run lately. I ran a scan (twice) but get the same results.

Any help and or suggestions with this problem?

OK.......I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled MSE. Just ran a scan and everything seems fine now.

THanks for help.

I have it set to run every night at 2 am. However this morning when I turned on the PC, I had a "red" MSE home page that stated that MSE needed to be "Turned On". The last run time showed just after I reinstalled it, not at 2 am this morning.

Something's not right! Will have to do more research.

I agree. This is why each night I run SuperAntiSpyware, MBAM, SpyBot and Crap Cleaner. Nothing gets everything.

I haven't used MSE in a year or so but had a similar problem. Do an uninstall, then go to C:/Program Data/Microsoft and see if it still has some MSE files left over and delete them. Then re-install.

Are you by any chance running CCleaner? If so, you need to uncheck the Windows Defender & MS Antimalware boxes found under the Applications tab. This was a similar problem in a couple posts a while back and that was the solution.
