Windows Defender problem

Originally I thought the problem was because I dislike MS’s auto updates, but having switch auto updates on the problem persists………..The problem is that (x) number of days go by then Windows Defender says its definitions need updating, go to MS update sight download updates they claim to install, but the Windows Defender notice is still in my desktop tray saying they are not installed, go back to Windows Update sight and they say I require the same update I just loaded, go to redownload and it says the update is there……………..argh Last time I just redownloaded the entire Windows Defender package and that solved the problem for the (x) number of days.

Any ideas, before I do the MS sight search

Thanks

 

I don't use windows defender but isn't that a program not written by microsoft?

You will need to update it by using an update box from with the program or going to their website.

As for MS updates always showing up even after downloading them have you rebooted?

 

Nope Windows Defender is in its Beta 2 edition at the MS sight and the downloads come from there.....PS I have also tried downloading updates from the program itself and the same result.

Yes I have rebooted after the update....still the same result

Side Note I am running Free AVG antivirus, but they claim at MS & AVG that there is no conflict, also do not get an AVG notice when I am uploading, nor one from Zone Alarm my firewall.

But hey Thanks for the input

 

Thanks Halo worked like a charm, just hope I do not have to do that every (x) number of days , but time will tell.

Again Thanks for your time, and as always came through with the cure.
