| | Windows Defender will not update its definitions I am running WIndows Vista Ultimate with SP1 Beta. WIndows Defender is asking for a definitions update but will not install any updates. The last definitions update I received was 1.22.3405.0 created on 10/22/2007. Up till then it was working ok. How do I fix this problem or is it a bug? Thanks, Stan |

| | RE: Windows Defender will not update its definitions Hi Stan, I notice that you are running Vista with SP1 Beta. When did you install it? Did you install it before or after 10/22/2007? If you installed it after that date, then it is possible that something in the Beta is preventing Windows Defender from installing its updates correctly, and you need to provide feedback to Microsoft explaining this. I am waiting until SP1 is officially released before I install it on my machine and my machine currently updates Windows Defender without any problems.
