Any ideas why you are able to update without problmes ?
Do you use auto update or manually select which MS udates you install ?
As I'm still having the same problems with WD as before ! if I don't use
install cleaner, the alert simply keeps returning ! on both of my machines !

I haven't had any auto-update problems either. You might try what I did to
get updates to work correctly. Download the Windows Install Clean Up utility
from Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301.
Uninstall Windows Defender using the Control Panel Add/Remove software
window. Run the Windows Install Clean Up utility and remove Windows Defender
(If listed) and Windows Defender Signatures. Reboot and reinstall Windows
Defender, but do not take the check for updates choice from the install.
Instead run Windows Defender and select "About Windows Defender" from the
Help menu and use the "Check for Updates" button from the "About Widows
Defender" window. It took me several misfires before I came to this solution.
I have seen a cautionary note about using the clean up utility that said you
might not receive Microsoft Office updates until a new update comes out. If
you have Microsoft Office I would suggest you make sure you have all the
updates before you try this procedure.

Ok and thanks.... sounds a bit odd, can't follow why I need to uninstall
defender and reinstall again !...but worth a try ! on one machine anyway.....
and will compare results on next update !....... However I have been using
windows install cleanup without any third party problems with office etc ! to
date,.... I have had to remove the defender definations with it on every
update before able to install the new!....via the defenderHelp menu and using
the "Check for Updates" button from the "About Widows Defender !
Although I imagine the correct proceedure should involve far less work ! a
simple click on the alert shield to download and another to install ! but
then MS doesn't seem to be doing much to correct the problems
