Subject: [JAWS-Users] MSE Now Flagging My PC Status As "At Risk"
A few days ago, I posted that the Microsoft Security Essentials icon in
the System Tray of my XP PC was reporting its status as "potentially
unprotected". This morning, after I booted up and checked the System
Tray, the MSE icon is now reporting my PC status as "At Risk". Here is
the message that is displayed on the MSE Home tab:
PC status: At risk
Support for this operating system has ended, which means Microsoft
Security Essentials is no longer supported and your PC is at risk. To
make
sure your PC stays
protected, click the link below to see our end-of-support guidance for
operating systems.
While it is true that support for XP itself has ended, the XP version of
MSE continues to function. I successfully updated the database
definitions manually and ran a quick scan to verify this. So if MSE is
still working, then my PC is not really "At Risk", as the System Tray icon
reports, and I can only conclude that this is nothing less than shameless
scare mongering on the part of MS. Contrary to the message above,reliable
sources claim that support for MSE will continue through July, 2015. So
what is really going on? Are any other MSE users who are still running XP
also getting the "At Risk" icon in their System Tray?
