I'm having the same probem. Tried unstalling, reinstalling, was unable to
successfully install.

OK, I'll give it a try Philo;

Start > Run > type "cmd" without quotes > OK (to open a command prompt
window)

Then copy and paste into the command prompt:

cd C:\program files\windows defender\ (or to wherever your WD is
installed)

Then copy and paste into the command prompt:

mpcmdrun.exe -RemoveDefinitions -All

Close the command prompt window.

Then click on this link and run to install the last full definition and
engine version:

http://www.download.windowsupdate.c..._86a9c41e57ee5cf43fed440ee96ac7af7842fb89.exe

If everything worked so far, now try an update from Help/About to get to
the latest delta definition version: Signature v.1.14.1642.8

Let us know if this worked for your 0x80240022 error
