    So yesterday, Msoft pushed out a 'so-called" program update for MSE. What does it do? Turns your MSE systray icon orange, creates a pop up every morning warning you about the impending EOL of XP, and puts warnings in your event viewer a few times a day reminding you of the impending EOL


    Really pathetic

    I wouldnt install the program update and I hope i helped someone with this warning

    Yea, it is pathetic. I'd just uninstall it & go with another AV.

    I neved messed around in the registry. But looking at this entry in the event viewer, I wonder if changing this registry value might change MSE back to normal state:


    Microsoft Antimalware Configuration has changed. If this is an unexpected event you should review the settings as this may be the result of malware.
    Old value: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\EndOfLifeState = 0x1
    New value: N/A\EndOfLifeState =
