Hello

Reset the Microsoft antivirus update engine on your PC

Click Start, All Programs, then Accessories. Right-click on Command Prompt, then select Run as administrator.
In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands and press Enter after each one:
Cd\
Cd program files\microsoft security essentials
Mpcmdrun –removedefinitions –all
Exit
Restart your PC.
Open Microsoft Security Essentials, click on the Update tab, then click on Update. If the problem persists, proceed to the next step.

Step 6: Manually install virus and spyware definition updates

If you are running a 32-bit Windows operating system, download the latest updates manually from https://definitionupdates.microsoft.com/download/DefinitionUpdates/VersionedSignatures/AM/1.315.54.0/x86/mpam-fe.exe.
If you are running a 64-bit Windows operating system, download the latest updates manually from https://definitionupdates.microsoft.com/download/DefinitionUpdates/VersionedSignatures/AM/1.315.54.0/amd64/mpam-feX64.exe.

Click Run. The latest updates are manually installed on your PC.
