    I have installed MS Security Essentials on my computer with Vista.  It indicates that the virus and spyware definitions are old.  When I try to 'update' them it shows my through progress bar that it is updating but at the end of the process it says 'connection failed'.

    I saw somewhere that I I should restart service.msn through the 'Start' but when I search it I can't find it.

    Please help

    Thank you!

    Hi,

     

    This issue can be caused by the conflict with other antivirus or you are using the proxy.
