Re: Windows Defender Update I need help
Hello Gui..,
Have the system scanned here for the presence of a malware known as
undo\Virtumonde:
<http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/tryscanner.htm>
Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827315>
First - ensure you do not have "Vundo". Clean it up if you do.
It seems possible that your Windows installation has been deliberately
damaged by a trojan (Vundo, along any uninvited guests. (SDBot and ZLOB, all
protected by a rootkit.)) so as to prevent you updating your system or
removing the trojan.
Your first priority must be to cleanse your PC of all malware.
A very good antimalware app is SUPERAntiSpyware.
There is a free version (on demand scanning only), the paid for version
includes active monitoring, similar to Windows defender:
<http://www.superantispyware.com/>
The trial version of SUPERAntiSpyware Pro (SAS):

Also have a look to this URLs provided by Dave M.

Hi there again Engel!
Well, I'm here to tell you my results about windows defender updates: yes,
the hint you told me really worked! Man, thank you a lot, I just don't know
what to say..
I scanned my pc with a boot scan from avast 4.8, the I scanned with Ad-aware
2008 and then with windows defender (but first I updated it manually)
After scanning with this all, I made windows update seek updates for my pc
and it found some important updates! =)
Thanks again!!!
