Hi 'hazelnut' thanks for replying.. Your username just made me think of "nutella" ( http://Nutella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) lol ...anyway. So i'll try your suggestion (i should have known that) ..so what is 'MS Security Client' ??

Hi 'nodles' thanks for replying... No i don't think i have and/or i'm using 'Winapp2.ini' ..though the file name does look familar, it might have been called 'Winapp1.ini' ..or something like that. What is it, what does it do ? ( pls. explain in simple form ) ...as for the link 'http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=34509' ..seems like i'm not the only one.

For the maybe 3 to 4 months CCleaner has been interfering with the status of my Microsoft Security Essentials. When i run CCleaner and then reboot/re-start my computer, the status of Microsoft Security Essentials changes to "Potentially unprotected" approximately 3 - 5 minutes after re-starting my computer . . . i've never had this problem before and it seems to have started back three versions of CCleaner ago ?? Is this something that could be looked into, and/or maybe tweaking CCleaner, preventing this from happening ???
