First try the Windows Update fix:

I saw three posts at 3 forums and I suspect all are your posts.
I did not see any other MS Security Essentials update fail today.

I updated one computer around 12:30pm (XP) with no problem.
I'll fire up my win 7 and see what is on there.
It was updated at 1:41pm to 1.133.145.0 (Home Premium 64 bit)

Apologies for the panic.
I reinstalled MSE and the update was succesful -bad day.
