I did a fresh install and the button to scan things in MSE is still there, but the icon in the taskbar is gone.

Hello Klaw,

See if manually running MSE from it's shortcut in the Start Menu adds it even after you close MSE.

If not, then restarting the computer may help if it will load at startup as it should.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

That did it. Thanks.

Is this thing ready for prime time? I'm considering trying it. I am currenty running version 1.0.1963.0.

Installed MSE beta in XP mode a couple of days ago, regular MSE before that, not enough KIS 2011 licenses to go around HA HA. Have had no problems and would like to thank all forum members who recommended MSE because I have tried other free AV's but got sick of them connecting to the internet wanting you to buy their full version every time a scan was run.

MSE works as promised and am still surprised Microsoft came up with such a good product ( still loathing the previous feeble attempt AKA Windows Defender )

...The lack of the context menu option is a slight bug where a certain DLL does not run. Open an elevated command prompt Run the following command: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\shellext.dll"

Thank you very much.

Probably a whole lot of folks who were just passing through, too.

Anyone know how close this is to being released as non beta?
