I began getting this message yesterday on my lap top. I clicked on the
suggested link, and was given a dire warning from Microsoft. Warning that
horrible things might happen to my computer if I didn't purchase their later
products. Of course I am running, on my lap top, the professional version
of Windows XP. I suspect though support for the product does end the
eighth, support for MS Essentials won't end till July.

I get the messageoccasionally. The message I received said support was
ending soon. So who is correct? Marilyn

That used to be the case, but not anymore. Running a scan does not get
rid
of the potentially unprotected message in the System Tray. The fact that
I
began getting this message yesterday, just five days before support for XP
ends seems to be more than just a coincidence. Maybe it's a warning from
MS
that although support for MSE will continue until July 2015, a computer
may
still be potentially unprotected as long as it keep running XP. So are
any
other XP users on this list who also use MSE getting this potentially
unprotected message, too?

All you have to do when you get that message is to do a scan and it goes
away. Jim

Hi RJ,
See my post to Gerald, definition updates doesn't make a difference.
HTH,

You have to update the definitions.
Open the program from the system tray
Go to the update tab
Alt+ u
And let it update.
Not sure, but you may have to reboot.

Hi gang. For the past two days, the Microsoft Security Essentials icon
in
the System Tray of my XP computer has been showing "PC Status
Potentially
Unprotected". Using the JAWS cursor to read the History tab, I notice
that there are options labeled "remove" and "remove all" at the bottom
of
the page , presumably to remove harmful items that have been
quarantined,
but when I attempt to click on either of these options with the left
mouse
button, nothing happens, and my PC status remains potentially
unprotected.
Neither running a full scan nor rebooting my computer changes the status
to protected. So how can I get MSE to change the status of my PC from
potentially unprotected to protected? Thanks for any help.
Gerald
