This morning Defender beta 2 popped up as available to download - my PC set
to auto update. But I got the 8024402f error when it tried to update the
signatures.

I tried http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=915105 several times.
Also tried reinstalling, disabling ZoneAlarm, disabling some router firewall
option etc.

Nothing worked. Any ideas? Reinstalling windows is not an option as this is
a recent rebuild.
 
Just checked and all Updates have the same issue now - so no Windows or
Office updates.

Totally disabled all firewalls and the issue remains. Complete and utter
pain when a piece of security software nobbles any possible security updates.
 
Thanks, but that did not work either.

I uninstalled Defender and then followed your instructions. Reinstalled
defender and had the same error.

But Dial-a-fix did throw an exception with 'version.dll' or something close
to that name on the 'Explorer' part of the Registration Center - which I will
look at again later.

Thanks again.
 
Hi,

are you running other Beta versions of any kind?
What is happening if you Go to Windows Update site and do a Quick Scan?

Thanks its working fine now. Most odd - I rebooted my machine yesterday after
the Dialafix stage and my PC was still not updating. Turned it on today and
Defender updated fine.

Windows update is also working.

Thanks again.
 
Hi,

your welcome, glad you got it running! :)
