Not sure what to > do......................... malware protection is missing, although it is present. All commands are typed in at the command prompt, you need to run as administrator: Method 1: winmgmt /verifyrepository If WMI repository is reported to be inconcistent, run the following command: winmgmt /salvagerepository Method 2: net stop winmgmt /y cd %windir%\system32\wbem ren repository repository.old Reboot the computer. As for the Windows Defender updates, they are available through Windows Update. You can also manually check for updates in Defender's Help menu > Look for updates. If neither works, you can download and install the latest definitions directly from Microsoft Malware Protection Center: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/ Charlie42 |

Rogue security software may carry malware. Take a look at the many posts on malware removal in this group, and follow their advice. In general, the experts recommend you run two or more anti spywares, since no single one has a sufficient detection rate. Remember, Windows Defender is such a programs and it is already installed on your system. Charlie42 |
