I've been using MSE for a while now and it's been working great.  It's caught things right away so they could be addressed.  I have it set up to run a Quick Scan every day including the choice to check for the latest definitions beforehand (under the Settings

Tab).

 

Most always, if I go onto the Malware website and/or run the "Update" feature later in the day afterward I will see definitions I don't have yet.  When this happens (like I said, frequently) I immediately get the Update and do a Quick Scan.  Is there a reason

this may be happening that I'm missing?  Also, should I be concerned?  My thought is that I should

always have the latest definitions.   I just don't know if it matters so much that it cannot wait until the next Update/Scan which will occur on the next day.

 

Thx for any advice...
