If you have encounter problems on automatically updating your MSE's latest virus definitions.. This is the solution to your problem.


Follow this step:
Know First your system type,go to start menu and type "msinfo32" without quotes("") If you see x86 then its a 32-bit PC. If you see x64, then you have a 64-bit PC.

Visit the Malware Protection Center
Now you can see the latest virus definition for MSE, Windows Defender etc...
Download the Microsoft Security Essentials virus and spyware definition update file that is appropriate for your version of Windows. X86 or X64.

Right-click the saved mpam-fe.exe (or mpam-fex64.exe) file, and then click Run As Administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or click Continue.
When the definition update file runs, a file extraction dialog box appears. The dialog box indicates that the definition update is installing.
After the file extraction dialog box closes, you can verify that the virus and spyware definitions have been updated. To do this, open Microsoft Security Essentials, click Update, and then examine the virus and spyware definitions status.
