  ·        I got s error code 80070005 when:

  Windows Update does is set to automatic update search and downloaded an update of the normal Windows Defender definitions.

  "Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (definition of 1.213.7334.0) - definition error 0 x 80070643. When I try to install the update, I get the same error message as mentioned above.

• 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,.

• 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.

  You use AVG, McAfee, MSE or Norton antimalware?  If so, Windows Defender must be disabled on the Vista or Win 7 operating system and should be uninstalled on a Win XP OS.  If you try to activate Windows Defender and it has been disabled by one of these programs, this is what is causing your error code.

  The following thread made refers to using MSE and Windows Defender, but also applies to the AVG, McAfee and Norton:
