Carol,
MSE updates the definition files automatically. However,
if you want to do a manual update check then just click
on the MSE icon ('computer status protected' in the
system tray and wait for it to open. Once open tab to the
page tabs (it will more than likely tab to the 'home' tab
first. Move the right arrow key once and then tab once to
'update' and hit enter. MSE will update definitions if
available.
When MSE has scanned your computer, use the JAWS key plus
b to read the window and it should tell you that no virus
was found, or, if a virus is found, then what the virus
is and what you want to do with it or what MSE has done
with it. You can also view the 'history' sheet by tabbing
to the tabs and right arrow twice and tab once. If there
are any viruses that MSE has found, quarentined etc, they
will be shown on this tabsheet.
John.

CHECKING SCAN RESULTS
Hi all,
I installed Essentials yesterday and am liking its
simplicity.
I did a scan when installed but havef no idea what
happened to the results of that scan. Can anyone tell me
where to find them, please?
Jackie, I followed your comments about updating, going to
Microsoft Update and searching for MSE but then got lost
in the maze. I've ended up setting for a quick scan each
day to ensure I get them until someone can point me to a
clear path for updates ... <Smiles>
Thanks to those who recommended it. I like it's simple
to use interface and it's running fine on my older
desktop computer.
