Thanks David, I didn't look at the link provided earlier, just assumed that the definitions that came in were the latest. I spose one shouldn't assume these things or any bloody thing for that matter. Cheers

Yea, even mine that i updated earlier are outdated, and won't update automatically.
With IE you can run the update directly from the browser...
I just did that on someone else's PC and no problems.
Is there any explanation for this?
I'm still need to update directely from the MS site...the UPDATE button inside MSE do not work anymore!

It's a problem with Microsoft Security Essentials.
Until Microsoft fixes this you can manually install the new definitions.
You can read more about this at:
Security essentials will not update past 1/19/2013 1.143.376.0 - Microsoft Community
Same probs here, update button still works, but no go on the updates. Tried running Windows Update to see if the defs would show up there, they didn't. For now I guess we'll have to manually update the defs until they fix this problem.

If anyone learns that MS has fixed this issue please post that info.
I'll post if I find the issue has been fixed.
My concern is for people where I have recommended and installed MSE.
How far out of date is it OK, before it is a real concern?
Should I contact these folks and manually update their systems?
There are some people I MUST keep their systems updated and secured.
I don't want to upset them and cause needless problems.
If I have to throw MUD on my face now to keep their system secure, oh well...
Thanks,
David
I'm gonna give it 48 hrs more, then try Avira free, I've heard good things about it.
Personally i not to worried about for a couple days
My office machine auto updated this morning 1.143.436.0 although it says definitions created on 20/01/13 and installed on 22/01/13 they are definitions not available yesterday so im not sure there is a real problem here
What everyone elses latest version of definitions if updating manually ??
