Do not install last MSE update to avoid XP End Warning box
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2014 12:24 pm
Microsoft Update may try to download the last XP update for Microsoft Security Essentials as KB2949787. Don't allow it!
Use the Custom Install option and uncheck the MSE Update. The last update will turn the MSE icon red forever and pop up a disgusting Warning box EVERY TIME at Startup. It may also pop up at other times.
Unchecking the MU install will hide it from further updates hopefully.
MSE can be updated internally in the program itself for new malware definitions without the last update. MSE will still be updated by M$ even for XP!
I tested all of this on my own XP in the last week! So far so good.
You cannot UNINSTALL the update! Uninstalling MSE ends usage.
