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

I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall in safe mode using the
Windows install clean-up tool.

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.

When I install Windows Defender, Startupmonitor usually gives me this
message when Defender checks for updates:

It's something like this program is trying to add itself at startup:

wextract_cleanup0

rundll32.exe E:\WINNT\system32\advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 "E:\DOCUME~1
\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\"
