service pack 2 and windows defender

[Guest]

I have reinstalled windows service pack 1 and am trying to install windows
defender. I obtained service pack 2, because an error message indicating
that windows defender required service pack 2. However, when I tried again
to install defender, the same error message regarding service pack 2 appears?
Please Help.

Hello chemteach,

Whatever you do, (installing and updateting or unistalling) always as a
adinistratºr.
This is the key!
The installation as an admin is not enough.
You needed to login as an admin.

Can you gº to Windows Update, select Express (Get high-priority updates),
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.

Install Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435)
