Windows Defender.
windows defender with out of date defs.
when i manually checked for updates it said no new updates available. But there where new updates on the web site.I updated manualy, downloaded the defs from the web site,and this worked.It is set up to check for updated defsbefore scanning.

asdy, If this problem never recurs, it may just have been a single case of the Windows Update servers not being perfectly in-sync with the newest definitions available. Keep us posted as far as your next update.-Alex

20/06/2009
version.
1.61.67.0
This time i ran update from application and it said no new updates available. I downloaded the new version of defs.
32bit.
Are the defs supposed to automatically update (download and install) ?
Many thanks.
P.S. successfully installed updates. (Manually).

I see what you mean. My existingdefinitions were dated 6/18/09. When I opened Windows Defender and had it check for updates, it said they were current. I downloaded the definition update and executed it. Now the definitions are shown as 1.61.81.0 and dated 6/20/09.I think the default is for Windows Update to push new definitions once a week. They probably don't do it more often unless there is a serious problem to address. They are probably changing the definitions continually.
