[gui-talk] Microsoft security essentials and Windows 7

[Humberto Avila]

Hello,

I have a laptop running windows 7 64-bit home premium like you. Mine has
also Microsoft security essentials , and it does update automatically--I
don't even bother with windows update or the application itself for
updating. Could this be your firewall?

I am running windows 7 64 bit home premium and using Microsoft Security 
Essentials for my antivirus.
The only way I get updates for Security Essentials is through Windows 
Update where if I check once or twice daily there is a optional update 
available for the virus definitions.  I then have to check the box for 
the update and install it.
I also have Security Essentials installed on my Vista laptop and it 
updates itself automatically and nothing ever shows with windows update 
for definition updates.
Why doesn't Security Essentials automatically update itself under 
Windows 7 or is there some setting I need to change?
