Invalid pointer bug on prompted scan attempt

[Guest]

After updating to latest definitions, when I tried to do a quick scan from
the page notifying that a san had not been done in past 3 days, I got a
pop-up window with:
"Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x80004003. Invalid pointer."
This is with:
Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1051.0
Engine Version: 1.1.1372.0
Signature Version: 1.14.1410.10
However, if I go to the Scan page and just click to start a quick scan, it
works.

(The same error occured with signature version 1.14.1408.8 after I
uninstalled Windows Defender and downloaded an installed again.

I have same problem. Same version.

I clicked the "check for updates" button, and it says I have latest.

What now?

Hi Murray,

download:
http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp
Clean out all the temp files with the crapcleaner.
then download:
http://djlizard.net/software/Dial-a-fix-full.exe
start this program and click on "Flush SoftwareDistribution"
Download WD to your Desktop, so Save instead of run.
Then try to install.

Please follow Tom Emmelots original advice to Murray Eisenberg--go to the
download center and download the newer code. This update will eventually be
offered automatically, but it is not yet being offered that way.
