My windows update history shows KB 915597 successfully installed eight times,
some by auto update, some by manual update. However I still show 1.14.13616
as the installed version. I have tried removing the current signature file
through start run as has been suggested but I get the message that the patch
is unavailable, check with vendor. I have just received the message that
defender has not been updated in 18 days so I thought that I would try again
only to receive the following. Windows defender was unable to complete the
update 0x80240016. The device does not reconize the command.
 
I'm having the same problem. I downloaded the latest version (1.1.1347.0)
and still get the same message "Windows Defender was unable to complete the
update: 0x80070663. The patch package could not be opened....
 
Same problem here, downloaded ver 1347, error message 0x80070663. Even tried
the Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C} thing. This generated
the same error but not in ballon form, instead it was reported via a dialog
box. System is SP2, running symantec IS 2006. Have tried updating with all
firewalls off. Same problem. Any ideas?

I think that I will Uninstall Windows Defender until I can be more confident
that it works properly. It seems that everyone is in the same boat and nobody
including microsoft has a solution. The previous Microsoft Antispyware never
gave me any problems at all.

:) Join the club macca. It appears that MS has lost interest. Defender is
not really worthless but not far from it. There are a lot of good people
trying to help here but they're fighting a losing battle. MS was on the
right track with MSAS but they lost it somewhere along the way. :)
