Hi there!

Since a few days Defender doesn't update the difinitions anymore. If I
search for updates I always get the error code 0x80240029.

This is in the WindowsUpdate.log:

2007-02-02 13:46:47:869 1224 12ec Report REPORT EVENT:

Have you installed OneCare or Forefront Client Protection?

If nothing like that applies (those applications replace Windows Defender,
which should be disabled)--I'd try reverting the definitions to 1.0.0 and
downloading new ones from scratch.

You can do this by going to a command prompt in the folder Windows Defender
is installed in, typically c:\program files\windows defender

and typing:

mpcmdrun -RemoveDefinitions -all

Then go to WindowsUpdate and do an express scan.
