I have tried on several occasions to download Windows Defender, but on every
single occasion the download gets to around 80/85% and stops downloading.
Have tried retrying but still the same. gets to the same point and refuses to
go any further
 
Hello Snowwolf,

Try disabling real-time protection in your antivirus application, for the
duration of the install.

I hope this post is helpful, but we would highly appreciate it if you could
rate the pºst, so we can keep the community informed and saves somebody else
the hours of trawling through the web trying to find a solution.

HI thanks for the swift reply have tried what you recomended even tried
downloading with my firewall turned off and it still did the same.
 
Hi again,

Open a Internet window and go to Internet Options, Delete Cookies and Temp
Files and included all offline content then also go to Start and Run and type
%temp% and clear that fºlder.

And / Or

Ccleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com
Note, When you install Ccleaner, uncheck the Yahoo toolbar option.
Note, in Options, Advanced, uncheck - Only delete files in Windows folders
older than 48 hours.
and do a scan with all the check marks on.
Open Ccleaner and press "Windows" "Aplications" and Run Cleaner from the
menu choose 'Issues' and then press scan for issues, Repair any fºund.
Run twice Ccleaner, the same as above,until you get “0 bytes to be removedâ€.

Look for the broom Clean up, also Tune Up..

I'd recommend re-downloading, and saving to a known location--like the
desktop.
After the download is complete, disable real-time protection by your
antivirus for long enough to do the installation. please disable or turn off
as much other software that always runs as you can--real time antivirus
scanning, any other antispyware software, (Stop all programs that are open in
the bottom taskbar) etc.
I hope this post is helpful, let us know how it works ºut.

Good luck
 
Hi still doesnt want to download gets to 85% and stops so gonna give up with
it now doesnt look like it wants to work. Its the 1st time ive had any
problems with downloading something,What makes it more annoying is that its
only this program that wont download anything else i try to download does so
with no problem. Thanks for your help anyway
 
If you are able to download at another location and user portable media--usb
key or CD, for example, that may work for you--there's no requirement to
download on the machine you are installing to.
