Windows Defender Download Error

Would having Norton System Works 2005 have anything to do with getting an
error of incomplete installation of Windows Defender. It never completes
downloading

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you attempting to run directly from the download?

I've definitely seen instances of antivirus, including the version you
mention (at least via these groups)--apparently interfere with
installation--i.e. running the downloaded file, once the download completes.

I don't believe it should interfere with the download--but there have been a
number of reports that seem to reflect incomplete downloads--and I don't
have any feel for common factors among them.

So--I'd recommend downloading again, and saving to a known location. You
might even download twice, if your connection is fast, and comparing the two
files.

Then disable the real-time protection from the antivirus for long enough to
complete the installation.
