Using windows XP media center updated version.
After a recent update Microsoft Security Essentials becoming yellow and asking for a quick scan everytime after log in.
I am using Microsoft Security Essentials since a long time & never faced such a problem earlier.
How to avoid the annoying yellow icon? Otherwise it is working fine.

I think a complete PC scan will solve this issue.

I agree with what saswat23 suggested.

if it dosen't solve the issue try reinstalling, after downloading a fresh setup file.

Re: Microsoft Security Essentials Always asking for a scan

Thanks to u all who took interest in this matter.
I found the reason.... it is the CCLEANER, was removing the log files of Microsoft Security Essentials everytime after using it.
Excluding Microsoft Security Essentials from its scan list, the problem is resolved.
Thank u again.
