My issue with MSE is that sometimes it doesn't appear at all in my
system tray, therefore I don't know if it's protecting the PC.

Hi Martina,
I thought the same as you but, I have had several occasions of getting that
potentially unprotected Icon only to have MSSE tell me that it is up to
date! It eventually straightens itself out but, it is a pain in the a**
trying to figure out just what causes the false Icon. Take care.

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.

Hi Gerald& Rick,
I have had MSSE tell me that my computer is potentially unprotected even
after a full scan. 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.

Hi Gerald,
Try running a full scan.

This sounds like a blooper from the back bage of Consumer Reports.
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?
