[QUOTE="Kardo Kristal, post: 315691, member: 24959"] Here is a tutorial "How to update Windows Defender signatures" if you can't update it via inteface. Finally I figured out workaround and it works for me very well. :) 1. Navigate to Windows Defender directory: C:\Program Files\Windows Defender 2. Now search for the file called: [B]MpCmdRun.exe[/B] and create shortcut of it to somewhere (e.g. Desktop) 3. Right-click on this shortcut and choose [B]Properties.[/B] now click on [B]Shortcut[/B] tab 4. Under [B]Shortcut[/B] tab set [B]Target[/B] to: "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -SignatureUpdate -MMPC 5. Click [B]Apply[/B] and [B]OK[/B]. After that launch shortcut, console window appears, wait until it disappears.
