Hello -
I am running an HP, OEM version of Vista Home Premium. As I have
discovered, Windows Defender is an integrated part of the OS, and my copy of
Vista has been activated and registered.
About three days ago, I noticed a little yellow "!" on the Defender icon
tried to check for updates and received
the following error:
Error found: Code 0x80240029
I have spoken to HP about this and they seem flummoxed. I have tried
several of the suggestions in the forums but have yet to eliminate the
problem. Is there anything anyone can suggest? Thanks in advance and good
luck.
I have tried to manually update definition files and am aware of the .zip
file fix that's advertised earlier in the group...I have no intent of messing
with batch files that aren't ms certified. What I'm afraid of is that this
might also be an issue encompassing Automatic Updates at some point - people
with these defender problems keep mentioning that some updates aren't showing
up as available, etc.
Again, any help would be appreciated.
