Hi Rick & Larry, Thank you both for your input. I wonder why Ninite advertises updating MSSE when it doesn't, at least with XP anyway?! I will continue to update manually to insure that MSSE stays up to date. Ninite did update My Dropbox! Hot Damn! LOL LOL
Thanks again, take care.

They will however, in Windows Vista and Windows 7, but after that happens, if I go to MSE, and tell it to check for updates, it always appears to update again. I think I would just stick with letting MSE do the updating rather than a third-party application.

I have Windows updates set to download, but let me choose what to install. I have never seen a MSSE download in any of the updates. We also have the update automatically option in MSSE options chosen / selected, but I still have to update manually. We don't have Windows updates set to download & install automatically because we don't want a bunch of updates installed that don't have anything to do with what programs we run, & possibly that is the reason MSSE does not update. Thanks again, take care.

You can also set it up to update before an automatically scheduled scan.
