| | Re: Microsoft Defender Update Try turning off Auto-Updates (also un-check Use Microsoft Update if you have it) and then check for updates. When I did this, it showed updates for Defender that were not showing when Auto-Update was turned on. I also added Windows Defender to the Windows firewall Exceptions (not sure if this helped). Here's the link for the update file: http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...4cc393dbdd.exe "harieamir" <harieamir@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C2962EAA-D8F4-40FE-8ADB-60035FFBCD62@microsoft.com... > Dear MS, > I keep getting this error message from Windows Defender.
