It downloads the Security Essentials updates but will not finish installing. just sets their forever, also the xp updates will not finish the update scan. I have deleted both XP mode and VM reinstall it again same exact problem. I checked and

    In Win 7 or XP ?

    The host operating system [Win 7] can & will have different programs installed than the guest [Win XP] OS. That's why you have to install programs again in the guest OS. Both the systems are separate.

    In Windows XP Mode,

    1) Load IE, click Tools > Windows Update and then download and install all available updates.

    2) Reboot.

    3) Keep repeating steps 1) and 2) until there are no more updates to download.
