It's giving me a constant message to check for definition updates, and when
I do says there are no new ones. The last installed August 5.

What's going on?

Thanks,
John

Download and save the latest def update from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/default.aspx

The link to the 32 bit [x86] defs is in the right frame at the top:
> Latest Definition Updates
> Windows Defender
> Antispyware: v1.41.870.0
>
> * 32 bit

Once the download completes close the browser and any other open programs.
Now run mpas-fe.exe
Did they install ?
