    Glad you got it sorted. For what ever reason MSE and WLE will get corrupted from time to time. As you found out, a un-install and re-install is the best fix.

I find it odd that when I do a Windows Update in Windows 7, the Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) updates are also found. But if I do a Windows Update in XP Mode, the MSE updates are not found. I don't suppose this is controllable? I'd like the Windows Update to find MSE updates.
