Hi, I'd suggest you follow these steps and check. Step 1: Temporarily disable all security software and check if the issue persists. Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks. Step 2: It may not be MSE(Microsoft Security Essential) issue after all. The issue could be caused by a third party software application. I'd have you perform clean boot on your computer to determine if the issue is caused by a third party software application. Note: Restart your computer as usual after performing troubleshooting steps. If the issue persists and you feel that it is because of MSE, I'd you post this question in their forum for best support. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/mse Azeez Nadeem - Microsoft Support[If this post was helpful, please click the "Vote as Helpful" (green triangle) button.

Thanks for the reply - I am running WinXP service pack 3 - it states if running service pack 2 will not get automatic updates - as I mentioned - MSE updates everyday - so not sure what the problem is!!!
