I keep getting prompted to install definition 1.14.1315.1 KB915597 and
follow the steps to install. I get a installation successful message only to
be promted shortly to install said definition. I can't seem to keep a green
light on One Care. Any suggestions?
 
I am having this same problem and I have tried both the methods below but I
just get a pop-up window saying "The installation source for this product is
not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."

I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling WD after which it checks for and
appears to download the updates but they don't get installed.

Any ideas?
 
Thanks Bill. I tried that last night after posting my message and it did fix
the problem. I actually uninstalled WD, ran the clean-up tool to remove a
signature installer then re-installed WD which resulted in it obtaining the
lastest updates which downloaded and installed without any problems. However,
I'll now try doing a manual update via Windows Update, as you suggested.
 
Hi Bill -- Thanx for all yr extremely helpful suggestions.

But ain't it a bit ridiculous to have to do uipdates for defender manually
or thru windows update? -- I thought surely it must do automatic updates,
like every single other antivirus or antispyware I've ever seen?

If one has windows updates set to update automatically (I don't), would
defender then update itself automatically that way?
 
Windows Defender is designed to update via AutoUpdate.

There are a few cases of home users who find that the autoupdate doesn't
work properly until they've done a Windows Update run--in some cases they
seem to be missing some previous update, in other cases, somehow getting the
first set of updates into place seems to cause the automatic mechanism to
work right the next time around.

The reason I/we harp on using Windows Update is that we can't tell from the
majority of initial posts here whether the user is on a managed corporate
network which restricts how AutoUpdate functions--that is behind a large
proportion of the "update failures" cited here. If the network is fully
locked down, the user won't have access to Windows Update either, and thus
this fact will come out. If autoupdate is restricted, but Windows Update is
available, then updating will succeed over Windows Update--and we can talk
about why it is that AutoUpdate doesn't work.

If you are a home or small network users, and Windows Update and AutoUpdate
work and connect directly to Microsoft--definitions should come in
automatically.
