Microsoft Security Essentials Question

I have been running a scan every morning and it has always shown the number of items scanned but today it did not. Does anyone know why this would be happening or what to do? I keep notepad copies each day and was puzzled to see NO NUMBER OF ITEMS SCANNED.
it always has shown number of items, the time and date, and No Threats Found but today it did not. I do not recall changing any settings.

 

Curious, I ran another scan. It finished in about 5-10 minutes and this time it showed number items and no threats. Maybe I did something wrong the first time?

 

Seems OK. Now that I see where to look for what I wish to see. I like to run a MSE AND a MWB scan each morning of the month and keep a monthly chart of the result. It mostly NEVER finds threats

 

I do not recall its EVER finding any threats. I do a M.S.E. and a M.W.B scan every morning. And copy the result to a Monthly Notepad. Always a Quick Scan.

 

I was wondering what is the safest and best way of disposing of old computers that are never used anymore. Hate to just put them out at curb for trash pickup.
And concerned about any potentially harmful info that might be on them. Any good suggestions??
And I seem to be straying from Thread Title.
