Warning Security Essentials is Turned off each time I start
Each time I start my Windows XP PC, I get the balloon warning that Microsoft Security Essentials is turned off and my PC is at risk. There's no easy way to turn Security Essentials ON, I have to follow a series of links and do some downloads to fix the problem, which is back the next day. I tried setting up the PC to automatically download the security updates once a week but that hasn't helped either.I need to either find an easy way to turn Security Essentials ON each time I start up, or cause the automatic downloads to keep it from automatically turning itself OFF.What you have already tried to fix the problem 1 person needs an answerI do too
