windows defender

[Guest]

Automatic updates keeps popping up after you install the new update for
windows defender (kb892519), you install it and it says installed
successfully and in a few minutes automatic updates pops up again with the
same update. I think I like the old anti-spyware better, first you couldn't
install the update now it is installing over and over, I understand it is a
beta program but come on.

I had this problem but managed to sort it by clicking on the Windows Update
tray icon, then on Custom Instal, then unchecking the file to be installed
( KB892519), and finally by checking the 'Do not remind me again' bit!!!
Never heard from them again with this particular update!!!

I received the Update and installed it 6 hours ago and it has not come back.

I was having this issue on two separate computers and the instructions
in the following KB article fixed this issue for me:

Hope this helps!

The link you posted solved my problem also. Defender kept asking for an
update even when I did update it. I also updated through Microsoft Update.
But the update never took.
All is fine now.
