I have a Win 7 Professional, with 8 GB Ram which I have been using for the last 10 years. Ever since I have owned this Laptop, I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials as my anti-virus. Till 2nd February 2021, I have had no issues with M S E which updates and scans my Laptop around 06:00 A.M. on a daily basis.
From 3rd February 2021, I have noticed that MSE has been updating and scanning my Laptop atleast three times a day against the norm of once every 24 hours. I found this very strange. I wish to point out that I have made no changes on my Laptop. The only thing I suspect is that this has started only after the Engine number has changed as under :
Upto 2nd February, 2021 Previous Engine Version was 1.1.17700.4
3rd February 2021 onwards Updated Engine Version is : 1.1.17800.5
MSE, now it seems has been updating definitions and scanning computers on a random basis. I also wish to add that if my Laptop is not connected to the Internet and MSE decides to update definitions at that time, an error is reported as under :
Event ID: 2001 Microsoft Antimalware has encountered an error trying to update signatures.
I would be keen to know if others are facing the same problem. Would Microsoft take this up in right earnest ?
