Anyone else having this problem; my windows defender was asking me to upgrade the definition files. I did and it is still asking me. I updated it probably about 20 times now.
 
I haven't encountered this yet, have you restarted your computer since updated any one of those times?
 
I have not seen this before, but I am no expert lol. I'd uninstall and reinstall but I'd wait for more people to reply.
 
Close Windows Defender
C:\Program Files\Windows Defender
Locate "AS_Sigs.MSI"
Right click
Uninstall
Wait for it to finish...
Open Windows Defender

Check for Updates

You should be fixed. Known issue. Working on a fix.
 
Thanx, Matt. That fixed it. Reps coming as soon as I can give you one.
 
I have had this installed for a few weeks, never noticed anything. It updates, protects and scans without bothering me so far :)
 
I love the program. It is great; this was just something that was annoying. Not that I did what matt said it is working again (dont' let your head get to big matt lol :))

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
