RE: Error 0x8024002b

Chilli,

I too got the error when I tried to check for updates through Windows
Defender. Since Windows Defender is integrated with Windows Update I then
went to Windows Update in Internet Explorer. There was an update available
for Windows Defender. I installed it and it installed without issue. Give
that a try.
