• Is it possible to stop windows defender updates?

  I don't want to use windows defender, because it does not update itself automatically so have found a better solution, called "peerblocker.

  Now turn off the annoying definition updates?

  Nobody asked someone to understand anything. I was simply stating something along the way.

  Already, I had to do a second post asking the same question, but it seems that MVP for all their skills and their realization can not even make a determination of an original question.

  I think that if I was in this thread and I had all the qualities at all that I would be asking myself what is point still give it my time, because obviously all MVP who is posting in this thread has no idea and rather than trying to understand anything of a technical nature, that is to say why, has instead allowed themselves seem incompetent.

• Cannot install the update to windows defender on Windows vista KB915597.

  My update history shows clearly that these latest download windows defender as kb915597 impossible to install.  In the past when I had downloads fail to install via automatic updates, I went directly to the microsoft.com website and downloaded the file specifically.  The problem was sometimes due to a need to check a box for authorization.  In this case when I went to the microsoft down load Web site it does not recognize the existence of the file KB915597 so I'm at a lost what to do even if automatic updates has not attempted to repeat the download.

  Inadvertently, I managed to solve this problem.  I've just upgraded to office 2010, and to do so when the program picked up security updates for office 2010 windows Defender update KB915597 appeared and this time has been downloaded successfully.  So it seems that if using an earlier version of office may be the problem.

• automatic update Windows defender

  Windows Update is in my case to "check and inform", because I usually take a backup of the system disk before applying updates.
  However, the windows defender updates happen every day, and I believe that they cannot break my computer.
  I really wish Microsoft to separate the two updates: enabling windows Defender Update automatically, all while my preference of "check and inform" as regards to windows update in general.
  Why should he go through the update of windows defender windows? Cannot make its own updates like any other antivirus on the market?

  Hi harrymc,.

  Thanks for posting your request on the Microsoft Answers site.

  Windows and the programs that ship with Windows, such as Internet Explorer and Windows Defender can be updated automatically by turning on automatic updating.  You can configure Windows to automatically install important updates and recommended updates. Optional updates are not downloaded or installed automatically. With the parameters value updates Windows Update to update, but let me choose whether to download and install, you can set Windows Defender to check the new definitions before a Windows Defender analyzes programmed.

  To automatically check new definitions before Windows Defender at the request of scans (recommended)

  1. Click to open Windows Defender in Control Panel > Windows Defender

  2. click on tools and then click Options.

  3. under automatic scanning, make sure the automatically scan my computer (recommended) check box is enabled.

  4 check for updated definitions before scanning them to check, and then click Save. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To manually check the new definitions for Windows Defender:

  1. Click here to open Windows Defender.

  2. click on the arrow next to the help button and then click Find updates.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  For reference, you can also check the following links for more information. Windows Defender and Windows Update settings.

• I can't update the Windows Defender definitions and get this message: the program can't check for definition updates. Error: Code 0xc8000408.

  Impossible to find info on what this means or what to do so I can again update in Windows Defender. This error message has begun to appear recently, or at least I think. I thought it was set to automatic update, but when I tried to do it manually because it says it's expired. Tried several times but get the same message every time.

  You are welcome. Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or networks without a fully functional antivirus, completely update installed application. But first, let's take care of any Norton "leftovers"...

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  Now, you will need to download/install an antivirus application. While I do not recommend professionally AVG, you might find that AVG Free 9.0 more compatible if you choose a CUSTOM this time installation above and don't install NOT of Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
     http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Otherwise, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials*, Avira AntiVirand Avast (all free) and NOD32 and Kaspersky (not the suites 'internet security'). After you have installed your AV application selected, manually & repeatedly updated until you get one invites 'no more updates'.

  [Avoid Norton & McAfee IMHO applications.]

  =============================
  * Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) includes components of antivirus and antispyware protection. The latter will replace (and must turn off automatically) Windows Defender in Vista.

• Windows Update not working do not Error Message and Windows Defender cannot update Error Message definitions

  I have a laptop Dell 1501 with Vista Home Basic 32-bit.

  I ran CA 2010 Security Suite and you have scanned for Malware with regard to the Windows Update Error Message. He found none. I ran Microsoft Malware malicious tool, and it found. I ran Windows Defender and he found. I don't have CA and Windows Firewall to protect my computer and I have disabled both in trying to solve this problem of Windows Update and Windows Defender.

  I got this error 4 days ago. Here is what I tried:

  -I went on various Web sites, including Microsoft Support - and tried to solve the problem through services.msc and msconfig.exe. None worked.

  -J' noticed in msconfig. where it says start waiting next to Windows Update. There are 3-4 elements, which are affiliated to Windows Update and made sure they did not exist in the registry.

  -J' have to ensure that they were supposed to be automatic or manual under services.msc.

  -J' rebooted several times and nothing changes.

  Windows Defender does not update the definitions, and I do not know if this coincides with the release of Windows does not.

  I am at my wit's end and do not want to crash and burn my computer.

  I need serious help. Please, I beg you!

  Thank you.

  I had to call Microsoft. Alex tried to add registry keys and input upgrade.

  My Windows Update has almost been altered. It could be my mistake or it has become corrupted when running other services at the same time.

  I was sent a Windows 7 Home Premium Disc to upgrade and start over, as my Vista disk was corrupted as well.

  I would not recommend trying one of the suggestions listed on other sites. It's my personal opinion because I have in the past and it worsened my problem.

  I also wouldn't delete all programs (unless absolutely necessary) because I remove 4 MSMXL and he made their work more difficult.

  Sometimes the only solution is to call Microsoft and they will evaluate if a charge of telephone support is necessary from the outset, before they run for your problem.

  Despite what you may have read, Microsoft Technical Support technicians are very efficient and kind.

  We inform you to open a slot during your day or even open your day for the problem to be solved.

  Mine took 2 1/2 hours, and they had to remind me the next day to make the order for the disk because it could not be done the same day.

  The more patient and kind you are, the best representative.

  Hope this helps and thanks for reading,.
