Note: your solution obviously works, and there is ANOTHER solution as posted
by the previous person. HOWEVER, the bigger point is: WHY does this error
code exist in the first place!! I have it too, on a new Vista system. I
shouldn't have to perform "workarounds" to have things work properly.
Actually, I'm not certain that the Defender error code won't show up again
the NEXT time it needs updating -- so maybe these "workarounds" will be a
weekly thing.
OK....... thanks for listening! I feel better.
