how to repair windows defender in vista 64
I want to do a repair of windows defender in Vista 64
Windows defender works ok,but the icon keeps disappearing from the icon
tray. I never know whether it's running or not.I can excite the program in
the start-programs & the icon will appear.When I re-boot icon disappears
again.I was told to put systray.exe in the start-up & this fixed it for one
re-boot.After that the shortcut does not work.
So.....how to repair windows defender in vista 64?(without re-installing
Vista 64).

To keep the Windows Defender icon in the notification area (tray bar),
check these settings in Windows Defender:
1. Open Window Defender
2. Click Tools
3. Click Options
4. Scroll down a bit, and look at the bottom of the section "Real-time
protection options" for "Choose when the Windows Defender icon appears
in the notification area:".
5. Check "Always"
6. Click Save

I wouldn't worry about the disappearing icon.
Here are 2 ways to check if defender is running:
1. right click on the shield in the icon tray and open security center.
Defender should be listed.
2. hit ctrl-alt-del and start task manager. look for "MSASCui.exe"
under processes
no need to repair i would think

I found the fix!!!
1. End this process in task manager: MSASCui.exe
2. Stop this service from running: windefend
3. Download up date from.
x32 - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Link...14&clcid=0x409
x64 - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Link...55&clcid=0x409
4. Extract the file using winrar.
5. Copy the files and paste them into each folder located in:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\
6. Restart the windefend service
Now you are updated. Windows Defender will continue to update.
Thats how you manually update windows defender.
