Microsoft Security Essentials

Since the recent Tuesday Microsoft updates to Windows 7 etc, I am getting this pop up screen message from Secunia PSI 2 multiple times:

1 New Programme. Microsoft Malware Protection 1.x (64Bit) (Patched)

I guess that it relates to MSE. Any ideas if this is an OK message/never seen it before/should I check something? Maybe Secunia is a bit 'locked up'.

I'll check on my home PC later today.

Hei Hans,

That was quick!
I just tried something ... did an Update to MSE and almost straight after this message pops up or it seems an alternative that says 'Removed'. Will check a few more times after there are actual MSE updates available. I have also just checked this on my Vista pc and get the same messages. Maybe Secunia have started to list these updates?
So try doing a manual update if you can ... though I think you now use Secunia 3 and not the PSI 2 that I stayed with.

Yes, I'm using Secunia PSI 3. I'll let you know what happens later on.

[HansV]

Secunia 3 didn't display any message when I ran it on my home PC, before or after updating MSE.

[RonH]

Thanks for checking Hans.
It seems with Secunia PSI 2 that they are 'monitoring each MSE update. I have just updated again manually (which is what I mostly do rather than waiting for MSE to auto update) and Secunia give this message ...

I guess that 'all is well' since I get it on both pc's but if others in our Forum have this same message I would appreciate comment here. I might also check this in the Secunia forum.
Thanks again
Ron

If it irritates you, you can tell Secunia PSI to ignore this application.

If it irritates you, you can tell Secunia PSI to ignore this application.

Certainly not an 'irritation' factor Hans. Rather I was concerned that 'some malware' was messing with my pc's But both MSE and Malwarebytes show both pc's to be clean.

Follow up 'research' shows that this is a genuine product update report ... I must learn to walk before I can run
Put it down to age ...
(Another fine mess you have got yourself into Ron )
