Having problems updating MSE on Windows 7?
Here is the OFFICIAL Microsoft Security Intelligence resource page
to download updates for manual MSE updating.
Upon landing on this page, scroll down to and select the MSE subsection:
Download the MSE file according to your system bitness
i.e. either 32bit or 64bit (usually a 100 ~ 130mb download weight)
Once downloaded, you should have either a file called:
mpam-fe.exe (for 32bit systems)
OR
mpam-feX64.exe (for 64bit systems)
TIP: Having taskmanager/ resmon open at this point before updating helps to determine when the definition update is complete as there is no visual indication that the update is complete
Double-click mpam-fe.exe or mpam-feX64.exe to update definitions.
Once finished, open the MSE program interface and check the definition update has been successful by checking the definition date.
You can now delete the downloaded mpam-fe file once complete.
