In Windows Updates under Change Settings make sure that Install Updates
Automatically is checked.

Also Windows Update has the Updates for WD.

i have tried that website, but not only is it down but nothing there has been helpful...
i have done several things now, reregistered dll's (which microsoft advised me,through notepad) and i have also deleted restore point (which they also advised me too do)
Ive tried downloading the updates for windows defender, same error message.
any ideas please?

It is NOT down... and you have to start a thread about your problem to
get help.

Wake the bleep up.

Plus did you know that Microsoft offer FREE support for all update
issues?

Did you resolve this problem cause I'm having the same problem. WINDOWS LIVEONE, SILVERLIGHT, WINDOWS DEFENDER, SP2, will download but won't install. AT THIS POINT IN TIME I SAY GIVE ME BACK MY WINDOWS XP...VISTA STINKS!

I get all my updates O.K. including Windows Defender.
My problem is that some times SOME updates don't install and I have to
do it manually.

Update is set to check daily at 6:00 P.
