: Marilyn, : which version of Windows are you using? : That would make a big difference since in Windows 7, you sometimes have to : "pin" something to the Start menu. : If you are using Windows 7, type Microsoft Security Essentials in the Search : box and it will probably locate it. : In Windows XP, I believe that you can do the same thing with the Search : option. : You can also use Computer or Windows Explorer, to locate the folder. It : will probably be in the Programs folder. : If your Microsoft Essential is loaded, you should be able to initiate a scan : of your computer. : That's always a good idea. : that's about all I know, Marilyn. Maybe someone else with more knowledge : can pick up this thread. : : John Justice : : -------------------------------------------------- : From: "Marilyn Walker" <[email protected]> : Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 8:29 PM : To: <[email protected]> : Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Microsoft antivirus? : : > John : > n mse appears in my system tray and programs but not on the start menu. : > Is : > this latter a problem? marilyn---- Original Message ----- : > From: "John_Justice" <[email protected]> : > To: <[email protected]> : > Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 5:16 PM : > Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Microsoft antivirus? : > : > : > : Oh right, Mitchell.
