Hi,
First of all, you need to ensure you are logged in as administrator;
After logon, go to start-control panel to open the MSE settings.
Once you open the control panel in MSE settings, go to update settings and select manual update.
After selecting the manual update you can go to this link:

And then click on this website
After downloading the application, you can run it and install. When the update file runs, a file extraction dialog box appears. The dialog box indicates that the definition update is installing. After the file extraction dialog box closes, you can verify that the virus and spyware definitions have been updated. To do this, open Microsoft Security Essentials, click Update, and then examine the virus and spyware definitions status.
Microsoft Security Essentials or MSE, by default, update its virus signature database automatically when your computer is connected to the internet. But if your machine is disconnected from the internet, you are still protected against viruses that can be identified until your last virus definitions update. If your computer is not always connected to the internet, you can download the latest virus definitions and install it offline.
The following are the latest virus definitions update for Microsoft Security Essentials. Download the version specific to your platform:
If you need to download MSE again, download Microsoft Security Essentials and install it.
