Defender does not update defs.

[Guest]

Hello!

I have downloaded and installed Windows Defender on our network computers.
We are currently using WSUS (configured through group policy) to manage our
Windows Updates. I have a message telling me I haven't updated definitions
in 82 days. When I click on "Check Now," It whizzes and whirs, the box turns
grey, then it changes back but the message is still there. From what I see,
I am using Definition version 1.0.0.0 created on 1/25/2006 at 2:29 PM.

I have already tried the knowledgebase fix (running Msiexec /x
{A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}). But that does not seem to work. Is
WSUS interfering with the updates? If so - or if not - How do I fix this?

Thanks
Nathan

Hello drnate,

Can you go to Windows Update, do an Express scan, and apply all offered
updªtes
http://update.microsoft.com
Once that is finished, can you verify the update installs? There are many
pre-requisite files which are needed from windows update and signature
update with windows defender will fail until you hªve these files.

Version 1.1.1347.0 is out. Install on top of the old.

Users who normally select advanced Spynet membership should be aware that
the install process will set you back to basic membership, so it's a good
idea to revisit both the Spynet membership area of Tools, and the Options
area--to see what's different, and check that your old choices have been
preserved.

All is now well!!!

I had to approve the updates in WSUS. The program is installed and is
working fine now.
