| | Updates Not Being Recorded? Nearly every day Windows Vista Home premium says new updates are available. (I have it notify me before downloading and installing). Vista tells me the updates have been installed. But, when I look in the view installed updates in Programs and Features I don't see these updates on the dates that I assumed they were installed on. The last date is 1/9 but every day this week Vista has updated my system with a Definition Update for Windows Defender. Any help will be appreciated James |

| | Re: Updates Not Being Recorded? Hi, Definition updates would not be listed under Programs/Features, they are merely changes to the files that Windows Defender uses to determine what's good or bad. This is not unlike definition updates to your antivirus software. It doesn't change the program, it just helps redefine what it should be looking for. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "JamesJ" <jjy@xxxxxx_roadrunner.com> wrote in message news:%234n71bAYIHA.5784@xxxxxx Quote: > Nearly every day Windows Vista Home premium says new > updates are available.
