MSE updates itself automatically at least once a day. You can verify this
by visiting the Microsoft Update site and checking your update history.
Updates to the MSE definitions database are listed along with the usual
security updates.

Chris,
Thanks, does it update itself more often than just its
weekly scan?

By default it will do a quick scan at the scheduled time and
it will also
check for and download/install updates before the quick
scan. On my machine
with a 2.0GHZ dual core processor and 4GB of RAM and Windows
7 64 bit it
doesn't slow down the system and probably takes about ten
minutes.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Avast to MSE
Well I am happy to report that I have successfully migrated
2 of our 3 computers to MSE. I did not have any difficulty
uninstalling Avast. I am also pleased to report that MSE did
not find any issues on either computer after its initial
scan. Avast must have been doing a good job. One question on
MSE, I see you can schedule a scan. Can the computer be used
during this time? If so, how much does it bog it down? I
remember Avast used to slow things down quite a bit.
thanks
Al
