Windows Defender error 0X8024400A

[Guest]

I have been using WD for one week . It worked ok in teh first two days. Since
then, when I try to update it or scan my computer, an error mesage appears
reffering to
0X8024400A. I tried everything that is recommended in this forum, but it's
still not working. I am not behind a proxy and my firewall (Zone Alarm) is
configured to allow WD to do what it needs to.
I look forward to getting a solution.
Cam anyone hel me>
Thanks,
lantoni

See whether this helps:

Start, run,

regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL

and hit enter.

Dear Bill,
thanks for the answer but it didn't work out. Still the same mesage appears.
i must add that I unistalled and reinstalled WD with no success.
I'll wait for another solution.
Thanks a lot.
