    Default MSE not updating virus and spyware definitions

    Hi. MSE seemed to be stuck on 20/05/16 and would not update to 22/05. Uninstalled MSE, rebooted and reinstalled. Still the same. Uninstalled again, deleted and reinstalled a new MSE from Microsoft web site. Still would not update definitions.
    Eventually downloaded Upgrade manually (support.ms.com/en-au/kb/971606), think it had to update when installed and problem was resolved. There were 5 Window updates after MSE def update on 20/05. ?? this/these caused the problem. Has updated defs every day since.
    This is only given as a hint, as to what might be done, should encounter a similar problem. Maybe won't work again?

    It has happened to me also a few times recently. It also often throws up a warning about whether I trust this download from this company. Pretty funny as they are both microsoft products.
