But the scheduled task says otherwise - man, this product is the most
irritating product MS ever bought and screwed up!

I have TOTALLY deleted this POS twice and reinstalled, and STILL says it
hasn't been scanned in 3 days, but the task scheduler says it scanned last
night.

Absolute JUNK!

And while I'm at it, it STILL won't reliably update from WSUS!!!

Hi Mike

This was a problem with earlier versions of WD. What version are you using
right now?

Engine: 1.1.1609.0
Defs: 1.14.1836.1

Hello Mike,

Are you using Ccleaner?

Your IT dept/Admin must permit and publish WDs definitions from the internal
corporate WSUS server.
So talk/mail him/them and ask for permission.

How to troubleshoot Windows Update, Microsoft Update, and Windows Server
Update Services installation issues

If your windows update is pointing to your local WSUS, then you must include
the Windows Defender in synchronization setting.
In Products selection, please include Windows Defender
In Update classifications, please include Definition Updates
See this KB... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919772

You must synchronize the server and approve the definition for clients to
get the latest definition.

Good luck

Well, this darn thing STILL doesn't think it has run a scan, and in the
Scheduled Tasks it ran at 9:54 today!!! What a piece of $h!+!
