Update KB915597 for windows defender keeps updating in my computer

This update keeps updating in my computer everytime I close it. It appears in
the update history as succesfully installed but not on the installed updates
list, so I can't uninstall it. I don't even think mI need this update since I
don't even use outlook for anything. I haven't found, in the knowledge base,
solutions or troubleshooting, anything that can solve this problem. If I try
to go to Windows Update to scan my computer for additional updates, it shows
the same thing and installs again as if there aren't any other updates to
install. I was wondering if Windows Update itself isn't corrupted and thought
it would probably work if I could uninstall windows update and re install
again after restarting my computer. I don't know how will that affect the
computer and if it will erase anything, including updates already installed.
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium IE7. Please help.

Consider going to the secu�ity portal

<http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/>

and downloading the 32-bit definitions for Windows Defender to the desktop,
then double-click them to apply.

See if that both brings you up to date, and perhaps improves on the behavior
in future.

Also, you can try Method 1 (sfc /scannow)
Ignore the title.

<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931712>

Method 1: Run the System File Checker (SFC.exe) tool with the sfc /scannow
command
Although this method sounds highly technical, it is really a straightforward
process that even the less experienced user can do. System File Checker
merely makes sure that all system files are where they should be. The sfc
/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect
versions with correct Microsoft versions.


I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.

Good luck

Thanks but sorry to say this didn't work. I've already restored my system and
also performed a sfc /scannow which says there's a system repair that needs
pending that requires reboot to complete, which I have restarted numerous
times and it keeps saying the same which I assume goes with the continous
updating of the same thing. Can anyone tell me if there is another option?
Thanks.

I am out of answers. Sorry I couldn't help

A repair install is the usual solution of SFC /Scannow doesn't work

First off, KB915597 has *nothing* to do with Outlook, so whether you use
it or not is irrelevant.

1) Has updating Windows Defender's definitions always been problematic
or is this a new issue ?

2) Was the system able to obtain and install updates prior to this issue
occurring ?

3) *** What is the installed antivirus/security suite and does it still
have a current subscription ? ***

When you attempted to install the manually downloaded Windows Defender
definitions did you *right* click mpas-fe.exe and choose 'Run as
administrator' ? If not, please try that first.
Follow the prompts to allow it to run.
