Windows Defender (Beta 2): Definitions Update Problem Vishal Kaushik 05-18-2006

Hi,

I am using Windows Defender (Beta 2) and when I open it I see following
message on home screen.

“Your definitions haven’t been updated in 16 days. Definitions allow Windows
Defender to detect the latest harmful or unwanted software and prevent it
from running on your computer.”

There is a button in front of message “Check Now” and I always click it. The
software connects to Microsoft site and after some time displays that the
definitions are updated. But I keep getting the same message.

I am facing this for last 3 days and the day count started with 14.

Kindly suggest a solution

Thanks and Regards
Vishal Kaushik

Please post in one of the newsgroups specifically set up for the *beta*
(software that isn't finished and is still in the bug-checking phase)
Windows Defender program.
