MSE random checks during computer sessions shows sometime that computer is not "Protected". Has anyone found this error? Computer HP CQ5115uk MS 64 bit.

Have you by chance used CCleaner? If so, in the Applications menu, uncheck MSAntimalware. It will fix this problem.

Scolton, yes indeed, I use CCleaner and under Application, MSAntimalware was checked. I have now unticked this application. Your response was most appreciated and I thank you.

Since my last post, MSE has become pear shape. Again shows "Unprotected", another session now shows that "could not turn on real time protection on". As a precaution against this step by MSE, uninstalled and reinstalled MSE and will have to await further computer sessions to see if error reappears.

[Scolton]

Please let me know how it goes.

Since downloading a new copy of MSE and installing same, error has not resurfaced, well for the time being. I will certainly keep in contact, thank you.

Thanks.
