Steve:
I answered this question briefly from work. However, it seems to me that
when I downloaded Security Essentials last December, I encountered much the
same problem until I followed the instructions referred to in this thread.
Don't remember specifically, though, as I generally put such things out of
my mind once I succeed in gaining the end in view.
