Duyahn, I've been running security essentials since version 1 came on line. If I check for updates right after S E scans my computer, the essentials is always up to date. If I check for updates between scanns, S E is sometimes not up to date and I update that virus data base. Like I've said before, so far so good, NO viruses here and I hope that it continues that way.

I am reporting what I have experienced along with other users. Whether it has been xp, or Windows 7. I have checked all settings and it is set to automatically update and it isn't. I have to go and get the deffinition updates from the windows update site and they do not come with the updates that Microsoft provides as I have looked. Not sure why this is but, they don't. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pamela Dominguez To: Duyahn Walker Sent: Sunday, March 17, 2013 6:33 PM Subject: Re: accessibility of microsoft security Essentials I don’t know about that because when my internet was down, I got a message that it had not been able to update for six days, so it seems like you can set it to automatically update.

I have had no accessibility issues with it. Just no that it does not update the deffinitions automatically and you will need to go and get those yorself from the windows update website. Also, if you have external hard drives you want MSE to ignore, you will have to set that up as well in the MSE options.

Is anyone using it and, if so, is it accessible with Windoweyes? Using Windows-7 and the latest Windoweyes. John Riehl If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
