defender update failure

hi all, does anyone have any ideas why my windows defender fails to update, i havn't had this problem before, the update failed wednesday on auto and manually up to now,
i am on w2kpro sp4 and i have installed the gdiplus.dll, i have been to microsoft help but it only seems to deal with xp,
the only thing i could find was a gte cybertrust root certificate that says it has expired or not yet valid when it should say its ok,
any help would be gratefully appreciated

hi, followed the instructions and got the message "windows defender was unable to complete the update: 0x80240022. the wrong diskette is in the drive. insert %2 (volume serial number: %3) into drive %1" doesn't mean a lot to me

 

hi, might have beat you on that one, downloaded windows installer clean-up and used it on defender then re-installed defender and tried to up-date and got the same message also googled the error code ( 0x80240022 ) and got bored of looking at xp problems

 

something odd here, i have just looked at my application logs in event viewer and it says "windows defender signatures-installation completed successfully" event id 11707

 

hi, following on with the problem - i have just had my auto updates installed, all completed apart from defender updates, tried manually again but failed, looked in my logs and this time reported as failed,
any ideas

hi all,
worked this one out (i think)

i have ad-aware pro installed with ad-watch, when i manually stop ad-watch.exe from task manager i can up-date defender, does anyone know why or have the same interesting problem

 

I have Ad-Aware SE Pro, and had to quit using the "ad-watch" feature. Interfered with some programs and at times ran 100% cpu.

Ad-watch had a particular conflict with Spybot's "TeaTimer".

 

same here, they used to fight a lot, so i stopped the tea-timer and kept ad-watch and all is calm
