And for those that have problem updating their Defender:

Stop and close Defender as follows: Click the Tool tab / General Settings /
scroll down to Real time protection options and uncheck Turn on real-time
protection (recommended) / click Save and exit. If you are using Windows Live
One Care, go to View and change settings and on the Antivirus tab select Off,
click Ok and exit. Follow the instructions sent to me by Vanessa Hu, a
Microsoft Support Engineer.

Step 1:
============
1. Click Start, click Run, type "msiexec /x
{A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}" (without quotation marks) in the Open
box, and then click OK.
2. Download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from this
following link:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/9/D/E9D80355-7AB4-45B8-80E8-983A48D5E1BD/msicuu2.exe
3. Run the utility from Start -> All Programs -> Windows Install Clean Up.
4. Select all Windows Defender related entries from the list (if there are)
and click Remove.
Step 2:
============
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Download and install Windows Defender from the following link and reboot
the computer:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en
3. Please go to Microsoft Update:
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/ and install the updates for
Windows Defender.

Done all the above the Defender updated and work to perfection.
