windows defender screwed up

[Guest a]

It's giving me a constant message to check for definition updates, and when

I do says there are no new ones. The last installed August 5.

 

What's going on?

 

Thanks,

John

My Windows Defender had to be turned off because my virus protection

Windows Live OneCare couldn't run properly with WD on. I wonder if u

have a discrepency between WD and yr protection???

Download and save the latest def update from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/default.aspx

 

The link to the 32 bit [x86] defs is in the right frame at the top:<span style="color:blue">

> Latest Definition Updates

> Windows Defender

> Antispyware: v1.41.870.0

>

> 32 bit</span>

 

Once the download completes close the browser and any other open programs.

Now run mpas-fe.exe

Did they install ?

Windows Defender is turned off, because the majority of the technology

in Windows Defender is integrated in to Windows Live OneCare and is

tightly integrated in the virus scanning portion of OneCare. The only

thing that OneCare doesn't have is the Process Explorer that Windows

Defender has, and this is a feature I would like to see added to OneCare

myself in the future.

 

In effect there is no discrepency.
