Nope. Using the JAWS cursor to read the infornation on the NSE History
tab,there is a message at the top of the page that myPC status is
potentially unprotected, but no expanation as to why. As I mentioned
previously, I suspect that MS is deliberately flagging XP computers as
unprotected, when, in fact, this is not actually the case, to scare XP users
into upgrading to Windows 8 even though support for the XP version of MSE
will continue through July, 2015. MS has done a splendid job of convincing
the mainstream media that XP computers will all be rendered into useless
paperweights by the nasty boys of cyberspace after support for XP ends on
Tuesday. Remember all the doomsayers who predicted that the world as we
know it would end on January, 1,2000, thanks to the so-called Y2K problem?
How did that work out?

Hi Gerald,
I'm confused, when you go to your system tray with the Jaws Key+F11, then
go to the PC Potentially Unprotected, then left double click on the item,
you should be able to use your Jaws cursor to see why your PC is
potentially unprotected.
Is this not the case?
Sorry, I've just never seen this before that one couldn't find out why
their PC was potentially unprotected.

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,

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.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] MSE Flagging MY PC As Potentially Unprotected
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
