Louismjj,
Sometimes updating from within a program, as you suggested, doesn't work. In that case, it has to be done manually. That's what this topic is about, as the title indicates: How To Manually Update Windows Defender Definitions -------------------- I love being married.
It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy, for the rest of your life. |
