Microsoft Security Essentials Acting Strange

Ah, yes, my mistake. That's correct, it will update through MSE only. It won't use Windows update any more. Is that a problem?

Yap. can you see mse updates on WU history?

for me still not shown in update histoty, thats why i think MSE update itself and not via windows update....

its not a problem at all.

found about the update issue on youtube:

Is there any way to get MSE to auto update anymore, or is it manual only from now on?

MSE update itself automatically after applying the EasyFix (once a day or 2 days)

Mine is not

I'm just going to set up a task in Task Scheduler to run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client>mpcmdrun -SignatureUpdate" once a day.

that's a good idea sluggerb ,
though i don't know why easyfix didn't do the job...
