my security with microsoft essentials usually shows as a green safe icon in my toolbar, but its showing as orange and potentially unprotected now, Ive opened it and there's nothing showing in the history or threats, so why is it orange and not green? any ideas!1 person needs an answerI do too

When you open Microsoft Security Essentials look in home tab and you might see a big button there and it will tell you what to do. Green icon will come up if you have NOT done scan for a while or you haven't done update for a while or new upgrade is ready. A big orage button in home tab will tell you what to do so click on it. Sometimes green icon might refer to fail to pass Genuine Validation, in any cases see home tab.
