You might also want to have a look at this thread at Piriform's CCleaner forum.
IF you're not using CCleaner, let us know.

I've been using MSE as my sole anti-virus program for a while. Lately, the tray icon turns orange and you get a warning: Computer status - Potentially Unprotected. I had been running a scheduled "full" scan on Sunday mornings but apparently that's not enough. I took to running a scan daily and that seemed to resolve the issue for a few days. This morning I ran a full scan and two hours after that scan competed and I received the warning, again. MSE v2.1.1116.0, engine v 1.1.7903.0, latest defs v1.117.982.0 Running windows xp pro sp3 with all the latest updates.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Eddie
