Hi there
I have automatic updates on.The update home page tells me that I have all
necessary updates. So why do I get a warning at regular intervals (about once
a month) telling me that my antivirus is out of date? And why can't I update
the antivirus; I don't see anywhere to do that on the update home page or my
security centre. Is my Zone Alarm security suite interfering with windowns
update?
Thanks for your help

Microsoft doesn't HAVE any anti-virus capability at the moment. You have to
set your anti-virus application to update itself, or do it manually.

Microsoft doesn't update your anti-virus program via automatic updates.

that's done by your anti-virus program.
