| Guest | RE: Error with Windows Defender - cant update definition Fireplug1 here and I have the answer everyone is looking for in order to fix the Windows Defender Error code 0x80240029; and follow this link to www.support.microsoft.com and see KB934562 article..link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934562/en-us cut/or/copy-paste into your browser address bar and it will take you to the site where you can read what to do...I just got off the phone with Microsoft Vista Team and this is where I was directed. It is a very simple fix. Simply start in Safe mode and click on the start button first then type in start search bar %windir%, then look for SoftwareDistribution folder and rename it SoftwareDistribution.old and hit enter and then restart computer and make sure all your check boxes are checked for automatic updates inside Windows Vista then go to Windows Defender and click on check for updates now, and then it will succeed and the error code will disappear because Windows Vista made a brand new folder to take the place of the corrupted folder SoftwareDistribution!!! Problem all gone now, Windows Defender is fixed!!Please pass this fix on to others having similar difficulty. It works for all versions of Windows Vista!
