Well, Auto-Update just notified me that I had an update for Defender, and sure enough, that took care of the problem. However, now it's saying that I haven't scanned before, which I have, but I don't care as long as it's updated.

Everything is saying that it's up to date. However, the program itself thinks it isn't. Can you verify these signatures for me? Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1051.0 Engine Version: 1.1.1185.0 Signature Version: 1.0.0.0 On the home screen in Defender, it's giving me that warning "Windows Defender hasn't been updated in 21 days", and below that it's saying the signature version is 1.0.0.0 from 1/25/2006. Microsoft Update is turning up nothing, as well as the "About Windows Defender" update method.

So I installed Windows Defender in place of MSAS, and tinkered with it a little. The first time, I didn't bother to uninstall MSAS, and installed Defender in it's place. I noticed Defender's icon disappeared after it finished updating, so I thought maybe it was a bug due to not removing MSAS first. So I uninstalled everything, then re-installed Defender. Now it won't update itself, because it thinks that it's already updated for some reason. I suspect there's some registry setting that's telling Defender it's updated when it's not. I don't know where to begin to look for that though. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I've been looking for a good tech forum for a while, and I finally found one I like. I was looking into nLite, which lead me here. I've got a lot of reading up to do, but I look forward to being an active member.
