    Since I installed the updated definition for windows defender-KB915597(Definition 1.21.1279.0) 03/03/09, I was not able to install the new updates. I don't know why, but none of the updates I have been install, or at least try, are installation and saying "Success" next to them. I've used different methods to dispose of everything, if I have any, virus and still have not seen any progress. And unfortunately, I deleted all my restore points to keep the memory on my laptop. I have too many errors, report them all, but some of the things I did to check to ensure that I have no viruses do analyses of the complete system and remove a mysterious software they gave me an alert by (using McAfee Security). Any help will be considered. Help, please! :(

    Hello.
    The problem I've been is that I lose my network connection to my wireless network when windows downloads and installs the latest update of Windows Defender (definition 1.55.1119.0).
    It can detect the network and others nearby, but cannot and does not connect to my network.
    The only way I can solve the problem is to do a system restore to an hour before the update was installed and disable automatic updates.

    Do I need to install the System Update Readiness Tool KB 947821?

    Probably not: I had a lot of doubt that SP2 is installed if KB947821 has not already been installed.

    Given that this problem is after a fairly recent install of SP2...

    Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support, initially planned to end on November 26, 2009, has been postponed until February 26, 2010, so move on! Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location. Some questions may require that more support for which he is advanced a charge.  Go to http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034 & select appropriate category (i.e., download problem;) Installation problem; Problems after installing a service pack <=pick this=""> ).

    In the case opposite & whereas KB971644 is NOT a security update, you can simply hide the "thing":

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
    (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update |  View the updates available (or Select the updates installed): right click on the (platform) update for Windows Vista (KB971644) | Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

    4. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    =====================================
    To restore/show updates for Vista: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.

    NB: If KB971644 were available for download/installation manual (and is not), I would have you try it.

  • Update for Windows Defender KB915597 definition

    I have a laptop HP Vista 32 bit and I noticed KB915597 to stay herself sleep although I have update set to inform me and have me install myself install.  02/05 to 05/14 years, I have nineteen 19 automatic updates installed.  My question is why is happening also whenever they are installed my computer slows down considerably.

    I already told you why you all these listed KB915597 updates: they are all updated to sequential definition for Windows Defender, but these updates have nothing to do with your computer "[slow]."

    Your problem with one, two or three of the following:

    1. "remnants" of your previous install of Norton Internet Security and McAfee Security Center (the previous freebie from Comcast);

    2. your Trend Micro subscription (or trial) have expired before installing Norton Internet Security; or...

    3. a hijackware infection.

    -Online NOTE: If the freebie from Comcast Norton Security Suite (which is only "powered by Norton 360 technologies" but not a free version of Norton 360) were installed & working properly, Windows Defender would be disabled and not up to date itself!

    To solve the #1 (only), contact Norton/Comcast support via chat (http://www.norton.com/comcast_chat) or by "call 1-877-272-7149 to speak with a technician from Norton live."

  • Get the 8004FF84 error when you try to download and install an upgrade for Windows

    I can't download and install an upgrade for windows. Try to install the product error code 8004FF84.

    Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

    Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to how to replace lost, broken, or missing Microsoft software or hardware on the Microsoft Web site.

    Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

    If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer may attempt to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

    This is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

    Wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

    Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.

    If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

    If the computer still stops responding during Setup, contact your manufacturer computer or your retailer.

    Hello, gsfl Jg,

    Open Windows Update and check if KB2686509 and KB2676562 are or are not installed.

    When you tried to install the update, you would have received an error code.  Please return this zip code which lies in Windows Update.

    Why this update is offered again several times?

    Windows updates are revived until the update is installed on your computer. If this update is already, perhaps an installation failure has occurred. Check log files to install KB for the error codes. For example, the log file of installation KB for this security update would probably "C:\Windows\ KB2686509.log"

    Hello

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
