I have tried to download Microsoft Security Essentials but only the first "window" for the start download appears and the subsequent windows fail to appear. On the uppper right part of the toolbar there is a time sequence counting down - presumably to notify the time left on downloading but no MSE is present in my Add/remove Programs. Obviously I want to protect my PC as much as possible and am reluctant to use it too often until this problem has been resolved. Thanks

Gekose oplossing

After you download something you still need to install it. Click the arrow, then click the MSE installer and install it.

Also, update Firefox to stay secure ;) Update Firefox to the latest release

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Thanks for your help here. I had previously downloaded MSE on another computer but there was a window at each stage of the process advising which step to take next. I hadn't thought about clicking the arrow to continue the process.
