So far today on EIGHT separate occasions , I have tried to install Def Update
1.1.1286.1 KB915597 because the little shield on mysystem tray tells me to
doso. It installs and a few minutes later the shield reappears. There are
other recurring problems that I will be reporting but my basic questions is
 
John,

I'm having the identical problem!! Installed the Def Update six times with
the same results. I then uninstalled Windows Defender and downloaded and
installed it again thinking there was a corrupt file. However, the same
thing has happened so for the time being, I just uninstalled Win Defender
until there's a fix.

So that John doesn't feel alone and MS knows this is not a one person
problem. I have experienced the exact update issue described by John.

Hi guys i'm having the same problem and have tried the suggested fix and it
just doesn't work.Any other ideas how we can stop the looping of this update
 
Bill,

After jumping through frustrating, useless hoops for most of the day, I used
your recommended fix and it worked like a charm! Should this glitch reoccur,
will let everyone know. Many thanks!

you tried click Start, click Run,
type Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}, and then click OK?

Worked perferct using Run command in previous post from W. Thornton... then u
just use the update command on the main Win Defender screen. Only took 2
minutes to do all of this, then I got the 'green light!!' thanks y'all

Have you tried updating via Windows Update?

The Windows Installer Cleanup tool--using it to remove "Windows Defender
Signatures"--is another alternative way to handle stuck or cycling updates.

I've read all the posts here and at other places. I've been thru it all
myself and I have found the solution. I works and there are no problems
later. All you have to do is uninstall Windows Defender and get a better anti
spyware. Beta version or not, lets be honest and admit its a piece of junk.
With new spyare coming out daily, what's the use of a program that can't be
updated?

Go to Ad Aware free version or any of the other established programs that
are easily available.
