    You don't have to uninstall and or reinstall.
    Just open MSE and open the help menu at the top right of the main screen and select UPGRADE.
    This is differenet from UPDATING definitions.
    Worked for me.

    Thanks

    Having just done a reinstall of 7, I decided to try M.S.E as people on here have recommended it before, and I'm quite impressed so far.

    Decided to give it a try...

    Two problems.

    1) Don't see an option to setup more then one scan. (I always setup my anti-virus scans every Monday and Thursday.)

    2) Don't see an option to have it automatically update definitions daily.

    Anyone have a remedy?

    You can only set one scheduled scan once a week or on a daily basis with MSE. To update definitions, you have to do it manually or set it to auto before running a schedule scan. :)
