Can't seem to upgrade to 1.1.1396.12 even after old uninstall and install of v 1.1.1347

OS - Windows 2000 pro

I had the same problem as everyone else with the old beta 2 version
(updates being installed again and again), so I deleted Windows Defender
and installed the new version. It then updated the engine and
definitions to:

Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1347.0
Engine Version: 1.1.1303.0
Definition Version: 1.14.1395.2


I still can't seem to update to 1.1.1396.12. Whenever I try to update
within the program, I get the "no new definitions are available" pop-up.
I'm also still in the constant update loop with that signature version
trying to install itself.


I just ran "Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}" to
uninstall the definitions, and when I opened Windows Defender I saw the
same versions and the same message appeared when updating:

"no new definitions are available"!


Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1347.0
Engine Version: 1.1.1303.0
Definition Version: 1.14.1395.2


Any solutions?


Tried uninstalling again, cleaned registry with Regscrub and Regseeker,
used CCleaner and still can't get past the 1.14.1395.2 definition
version.


Could Mike Lin's Start-up monitor have anything to do with it?
I've never had problems in the past.

Since you think that StartupMonitor could possibly impact the WD update
process, did you try to run it after stopping StartupMonitor?

Also, did you try to update via http://update.microsoft.com/ ?
