    MSE is Not "Updating" in Windows 7


    I update MSE in my Windows 7 Professional system via Windows Update; I let WU install the updates automatically. The latest pattern definition was updated this morning 06/18 06:48 (1.295.942.0). The MSE icon in the system tray is brown, not green. When I open the MSE window it tells me


    Definitions created on: 06/10/2019 at 1:43 AM

    Definitions last updated: 06/10;2019 at 4:26 AM

    Virus definition version: 1.295.429.0

    Spyware definition version: 1.295.429.0


    I then click the "Update" button, and the "Downloading..." bar turns from all gray to green slowly. After more than 35 minutes of downloading, the process stops and says, "Connection failed. The virus and spyware definitions didn't update on 6/18/2019, 10:52AM because of an Internet or network connectivity problem." I have no idea what IP address this downloading process was trying to access, as I did not run a Wireshark trace. As far as I know, I have no problems connecting to the Internet.


    Why does the MSE window not know that I have updated the patterns via Windows Update? And why is the MSE window unable to update the pattern definitions? Thanks,

    :)

    Windows 7 Activation Problem

    My brother had a rig with cracked windows 7 on it + MSE. Automatic updates were off by default, that KB971033 was hidden. MSE seems to have gotten very bossy, as it turned on updates, downloaded the activation checker automatically and deactivated windows. All the prompts about activation were coming through MSE. He reactivated it with some youtube vid instructions.

    I just had to uninstall MSE myself. I was downloading 1 optional update and suddenly MSE kicks in and downloads 7 other updates along with it. I stopped it during the install and just uninstalled MSE. Microsoft just officially blew it here. That kind of invasive shit isn't going to fly. What's really weird is MSE's actions just don't match up with Microsoft's usually lax stance on pirating. I mean that KB update isn't even selected by default with 7, nor was it with vista.

    Windows 7 update help needed

    Language packs should be listed in the optional updates section of Windows Update.

    As for installing Win 7, it should merely ask for the qualifying media to be inserted to the dvd drive. That's what XP upgrade install discs did when there wasn't a previous OS installed.
