MSE vanished after shutdown!!!

I still suggest a System Restore to prior to last night. However, this is a direct link to the Windows Vista/Windows 7 64-bit uninstaller for MSE: http://tinyurl.com/mse-w7vista64-rt

I cannot uninstall! should i reboot any way?

I agree corrine and will when i have time to babysit!

weird shtuff ehh? thanks for your time this is fun!

zapvill, have you made a change to your system so that Windows Defender is also running on your computer? I have the MSE updates but do not have the Anti-malware updates in Windows Update history. If you have turned on the Defender service, I suggest you undo that change as MSE includes the same definitions and capabilities as Defender.

I dont believe defender was on as I had to turn it on and manually update when i discovered my mse problem. but it could have changed when everything else did.

Im baffled here. why did update first reconfigure then remove mse while updating the malware tool in between?

It does that after it updates and installs itself twice? as shown here.
