    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    Yea, even mine that i updated earlier are outdated, and won't update automatically.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.

    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:

    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    How far out of date is it OK, before it is a real concern?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
