Thanks Matt. That's good to know. I use it for my win7. Will chack that later.

LOL LH, my pleasure Wolfgang. Apart from the auto-updating it seems to be a really good AV/Malware scanner scoring pretty high in tests. There is a workaround using the task scheduler, I´m just trying to get my head around it before posting. Matt

Good, maybe they´ve fixed the problem, I don´t know. It was written in the latest (Saturday) c´t magazin in Germany. For anyone that can read German, it´s here!!!

OK, here´s a workaround: type regedit (Vista or W7) in the search box or run, regedit (XP) , you will need to be logged in as administrator.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Microsoft Antimalware/Signature Update then double click on "SignatureUpdateInterval" then change the DWORD Value" for "SignatureUpdateInterval" to 3 (default is 24) then your MSE should be updated every 3 hours. Matt

EDIT: Or as above :)
