Hey Engel, What's up with that ? My post is a copy and paste from WU, so
maybe one of the sizes is a typo. It's been awhile. Ron

Windows Defender Delta Update: 1.67.379.0 Link

The link is as follows:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...a5b375a9c4.exe
Size is only 375kb, and it will not trigger a system restore point

As always, if you need the Full Engine and Full Defs update
[for example after a new install/reinstall of Defender]
you can get it at the Microsoft Malware Protection Center:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/
https://www.microsoft.com/security/p...tions/ADL.aspx
The full MPAS-FE is currently 11. MB

Hello אמיר,

Here are answers to some common questions about System Restore.

Applies to all editions of Windows Vista.

How often are restore points created?
Restore points are created automatically every day, and just before
significant system events, such as the installation of a program or device
driver.

How does System Restore work?
System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings
to an earlier point in time, without affecting personal files. For more
information, see What is System Restore?

Hi Ǝиçεl
thanks for the links.
My specific question is why restore points upon defender update (last two)
were created ?
as tim wrote
"Size is only 375kb, and it will not trigger a system restore point" .
(Before installing the last WU engine -it did not happen )

אמיר,

When you use WindowsUpdate, that is you go to the Site and have it check for
what you might need, and accept what it offers, IT creates a System Restore
Point. (simple version The Update Site commands your machine to make a
STP)

It does not matter that you were only updating the defs of Defender, Windows
Update does this for any update you get. That is one of the reasons I
provide the link to the direct download of the updates, it by passes the use
of the Windows Update site completely.

Windows Update was designed for "big, important updates !!!" that could
really effect your system in dramatic ways, so creating a restore point is a
good thing. Its just rather silly that it does it if you just update for
defs, but that's the way it works.

So again, it is not the update itself that is causing the SRP, it is the use
of WU to get the update.

Hope that makes things a little clearer

Tim
