| | Windows Defender Update I need help Hi there! Well, I've been trying to update my Windows defender through Windows Update for one week, and it didn't find any available updates neither for it nor for any other thing... I'm getting worried about it, but I don't know what it it. Even when I try to update Defender manually, it does not find anything. What can it be? Last week, I found out that my Office 2007 is forged. Can the problem be occurring because of it? It's just my Office that was forged (but I'll correct it!), but my Windows Vista is original because I already validated it twice and I do have the license for it.. Please help me.. ![]() If you can't, can anyone at least pass me the website I can download the updates for Defender myself? Thanks a lot!!!!!! |

| | Re: Windows Defender Update I need help Hello Gui.., Have the system scanned here for the presence of a malware known as undo\Virtumonde: <http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/tryscanner.htm> Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827315> First - ensure you do not have "Vundo". Clean it up if you do. It seems possible that your Windows installation has been deliberately damaged by a trojan (Vundo, along any uninvited guests. (SDBot and ZLOB, all protected by a rootkit.)) so as to prevent you updating your system or removing the trojan. Your first priority must be to cleanse your PC of all malware. A very good antimalware app is SUPERAntiSpyware. There is a free version (on demand scanning only), the paid for version includes active monitoring, similar to Windows defender: <http://www.superantispyware.com/> The trial version of SUPERAntiSpyware Pro (SAS): <http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html> Also have a look to this URLs provided by Dave M. <http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal_and_Prevention:_Introduction> - - --- <http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal_and_Prevention:_Overview> -- - - - <http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic34773.html> - -- -- Please follow the above sugestions I hope this post is helpful. Let us know how it works ºut.

Man, thank you a lot, I just don't know what to say.. I scanned my pc with a boot scan from avast 4.8, the I scanned with Ad-aware 2008 and then with windows defender (but first I updated it manually) After scanning with this all, I made windows update seek updates for my pc and it found some important updates! =) Thanks again!!!
