Windows Defender (Vista) keep being told to Check for new definitions

Posted: 12-19-2008, 10:20 AM
I am using Vista Home Premium, SP1, with the latest updates for WU and
Defender .... I think.

I see the orange oval with the black exclamation mark on the Windows
Defender System Tray icon and am asked to check for new definitions. I do,
there are no new definitions and yet I keep seeing that exclamation mark
advising me to do something.

I did a scan, rebooted the computer (even though I was not advised to do
so), and I still see this message.

Just me? Suggestions? Thanks, Dave Horne
