| Guest | Re: error for windows defender Try this: Open “Windows Update” from the control panel. Click “Change settings”, on the left side of the window. Choose "Never check for updates". Go back to the main “Windows Update” page, and, on the right side, click “Check for updates” . If a Defender update is shown as an Install choice, install it, as well as other non-optional updates that may not have been showing up. Then change the “Change settings” choice back to where you want it.

| Guest | Re: error for windows defender In other words, "Check for updates" in Defender is giving you the error code? Looking at "About Windows Defender", the current Engine Version should be 1.1.2503.0, and the current Definition Version should be 1.18.2540.1. You can also look at Control Panel > Windows Update > "View update History" to see when the last update for Defender was installed, and whether it was successful or not.

| Guest | Re: error for windows defender Have you tried the slash and burn approach from Microsoft? Found here, this will cause you to lose your Update History, if you care about such things, but not your previously installed updates: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934562/en-us Another alternative: http://www.cbsykes.com/?p=20 "dean-dean" <dean-dean@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:exnAj0NlHHA.1624@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > In other words, "Check for updates" in Defender is giving you the error > code?

| Guest | RE: error for windows defender Go below to one of the posts dated 4-12-07. Look for TaurArian [MS-VP]. He/She shows you how to restart in safe mode and change the Software Distribution Folder. Apparently some of us have corrupted Softwar Distribution Folders and simply have to rename them. I DID THIS AND WAS ABLE TO DOWNLOAD ALL UPDATED DEFINITIONS AND THE PROBLEM NO LONGER EXISTS. THIS IS THE ONLY DIRECTIVE I SAW ON THIS BLOG FOR ERROR 0x80240029 THAT WORKED. USE IT FOLKS. THEY WERE RIGHT ON TRACK AND I CANNOT THANK THEM ENOUGH. NO MORE PROBLEMS FOR MY WINDOWS DEFENDER. RUNNING GREAT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

| Guest | RE: error for windows defender OK FOLKS, THEY CHANGED THE DATE TO 5-13-07, OBVIOUSLY SINCE I COMMENTED TO IT WORKING. ITS TITLED "WINDOWS DEFNENDER" 5-13-07 NOW AND HAS 9 POSTS (1 HELPFUL). WHEN YOU OPEN IT YOU WILL SEE TaurArian [MS-MVP] LISTED. GO TO THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM DATED 4-14-07 AND PRINT HER DIRECTIONS OUT. FOLLOW THEM AND YOUR UP AND RUNNING YOUR WINDOWS DEFENDER. IT WORKS.

| Guest | RE: error for windows defender Hi all, I'm getting this error 0x80240029 frequently. I've followed the microsoft suport page to rename the folder in safemode, at then it works, but several days later the problems reoccurs. I'm looking for a fix to prevent this from happening, anyone?
