Hi Trish, I don't run quick scans, MSE is supposed to be monitoring my system, and it is a rarity for it to say potentially unprotected. I run a full scan once a week as part of my maintenance routine.

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?
