Microsoft Security Essentials

    I have recently done a full scan on microsoft security essentials for my windows 7 32-bit dell laptop. After the scan security essentials found some virus creation software which I removed promptly. Then security essentials told me that the virus and spyware definitions were out of date. When I try to update these definitions security essentials is telling me that the connection has failed. After trying this numerous times and still getting the same response, I have turned to boards.ie for some help.

    You can always reinstall microsoft security essentials. Would only take a few minutes.

    If it isn't connecting now, you may be blocking it with another firewall application, or even the windows firewall. Try uninstalling the current one and reinstalling.
