    Really basic question about Microsoft Security Essentials


    I am confused which is easily done when it comes to techy type stuff.

    Please can someone tell me if I have to update MSE using the optional updates offered in Window Updates each time or does MSE do it itself so I can ignore them please?

    Hi Triple M,
    You dont have to do anything they will install automatically, they are not classified as optional.

If left to its own devices, when does MSE update? I started using MSE recently, and so far, I find myself updating manually. I've installed MSE on a laptop, too, and after 2 days, I updated manually. I didn't find a setting for updating. Did I miss something? And I have Windows Update set to update...
