Here's another spot to download it: Download details: Microsoft Security Essentials
You are prompted to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft Security Essentials (1.0.1963.0)
Just did it, took 1.5 minutes. I did get a couple pop-ups during "Security is off you are not protected, turn it on"... and "Windows Defender is off, turn it on"... I was thinking Windows Defender was not needed with MSE.
So I did the update but a problem still persists. This happens almost all the time but not ALL the time. When I reboot, MSE starts and the icon is on the task bar. It shows that MSE is running and up to date. When Action Center finishes starting I get the red flag and Action Center reports that AV/AS are NOT running and asks me to turn them on. I do this and then the red flag goes away. I have had this problem for a few months and started a thread about it. I was hoping with this latest update it would be corrected but it is not. Does anyone else experience this? It is a little thing and I could just turn off the red flag notices but am curious why it happens.
