![]() But since this problem arose MSE is still showing the definitions have not been updated, now for 14 days. This I've always taken to mean that it is being installed. It looks as if they are installing, when I click to launch it I still get the familiar WinXP egg timer which shows the updater is running, a short delay and then that comes back again. However recently, in the last five weeks, during the weekly updating I do it has refused to install the definition updates 4 times out 5. ![]() Occasionally I download it direct to the VM. There has been very little trouble with this, usually I use the host machine to download it and transfer that to a shared volume with the XP Mode VM. In April 2016 (?) automatic AV definition updates to MSE stopped and also could not be enabled manually via the update button but, as recommended, if you went to the MS web site you could download the appropriate MSE 32bit AV definitions update (mpam.fe) and install them manually. ![]() This is about the only situation now I would even dream of using MSE. I have used MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) on that XP Mode system since it was installed - perfect, unobtrusive, small footprint and does its job. I have Windows XP Mode (32bit) running on a virtual machine. ![]()
