| | Vista en Defender Ik heb verleden week een nieuwe laptop aangekocht met Vista als stuurprogramma. Na een goede week verschijnt nu het bericht dat Windows Defender verouderd zou zijn. Als ik tracht Defender opnieuw te downloaden lukt dat niet (bericht: Defender is al geïnstalleerd op Vista. Mijn Defender kan dus onmogelijk verouderd zijn en vraag dus of er iemand een oplossing weet. Alvast bedankt voor de hulp |

| | Re: Vista en Defender Hi, You don't need to install new Defender software. Windows Defender uses definitions files which tell Defender which programs are spyware or malware or which actions performed by these programs can be harmful to you computer. As spyware is continuously 'improved' (meaning, spyware authors are continuously finding new ways of installing their programs on your computer), it's important for Windows Defender to regularly download new definition files, in order to be able to detect the new generations of spyware. (In fact, just like an antivirus program does) When Windows Vista tells you that Windows Defender needs to update, this only means that new definition files need to be downloaded, not that the Defender software needs to be updated. You may have noticed a Windows Defender icon with an exclamation mark (!) in the icon tray of your taskbar. If you click on that icon, a window will open with a button that you can click to retrieve the new definition files. (Sorry, I've no clue what the windows and button text is in Dutch). This can take some time. When the update has finished, the window will become greenish, and will tell you all is well. The exclamation mark will then disappear from the Defender icon in your icon tray. Cheers, Jan. <s.henri@belgacom.net> wrote in message news:1173789182.936581.223150@t69g2000cwt.googlegroups.com...
