I thought if the "potentially unprotected" status comes up it means there is some update for MSE available so then just updating would obviously fix it to protected again; well, it has done for me so far at least. HTH Martina

Yesterday I had to run 2 full scans to get it to stop showing this message in the system tray. Also, after a reboot, MSSE didn't start& so I had to reboot again to get her fired up! Take care.

Checking my System Tray this morning , I noticed that my icon for MSE 4.0 stated "PC status : potentially unprotected". So I opened MSE and examined the Home tab using the JAWS cursor, and here's what it looked like: graphic 399 Microsoft Security Essentials You haven't run a scan on your PC for a while. This could put your PC at risk. Scan options: Quick Full Custom Real-time protection: On Virus and spyware definitions: Up to date Scan now Scan details Scheduled scan: Daily around 11:00 AM (Quick scan) Change my scan schedule Last scan: 5/26/2012 at 10:41 AM (Quick scan) As you can see, the page clearly states that MSE performed a quick scan yesterday, 5/26, at 10:41AM, yet the message at the top of the page states that myPC might be at risk because I haven't run a scan for a while. What the heck is going on? Is this a bug in MSE, or MS's idea of a practical joke? This has been happening about twice a week, so I just ignore the System Tray warning. Has anyone else experience this behavior with MSE 4.0?
