MSE constantly showing "unprotected" status! HELP!

[Jennifer O.]

I've been using MSE for a while and I like it, although unless I completely uninstall the program and then reinstall, it constantly shows "unprotected", and "you haven't run a scan in a while", even though a FULL SCAN was just run (I will maybe see a little green house with a white checkmark in it for a couple of hours after a complete scan, but then it goes right back to being orange). I don't understand this. It's NOT a conflict with CCleaner (I've read the posts on it and have made the corrections), there is no Norton or McAfee products on the computer (even run both company's uninstalling programs just to be sure), and I've run a complete Malware scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (nothing showed up). Time and date as shown in the bottom corner of my desktop is correct (I've read this could cause problems ???) and I've updated the program manually.

So what could be the problem? I'm at a total loss here.

OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
Anti-Virus: MSE
Firewall: Zone Alarm (windows firewall is turned OFF)

Any help is much appreciated!!!
