I am using Microsoft Security Essentials as my only virus protection. I have Vista Home Premium and IE9. When I start up my computer MSE works for a while and then stops working. I see that by the icon changing from green to orange. I then type in services.msc

in the search box. Then enter and then then right click on microsoft antimalware and then click on Properties. Under service status I click on stop. It shows stop and then I click on start and MSE starts working again. It works for another 15 to 30 minutes

and stops again. This has been going on for several days now. It worked fine before that. Will someone please e-mail me with a fix if anyone knows.
