heinoganda Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) @DrWho3000 Download the file "Fsq7t5WG2Av6m6g30k4xU81.rar" (Button Download now) from here. Open the downloaded file with WinRAR or 7 Zip, insert the password in the "Insert Password" window and click OK. Now unpack the files in a folder and then run the file "MSE_DEF_UPD_v1.5.exe" in the folder. A selection menu appears where 1 and Return will start the update process.

mo832 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) I prefer to do the update manually, as I have been doing this since the last time the auto updates stopped working. 1. If I do the manual download of mpam-fe.exe every day and change the mpsigstub file, will the same old mpsigstub keep working with new defs files? 2. Where do I get the old mpsigstub file? (revision 1.239.450.0) ?? Or, where can I get an old mpam-fe.exe version? MS only links the latest one, other file sites have the same, they don't archive Edited April 2, 2017 by mo832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo832 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) @sdfox7 It says "page cannot be displayed due to robots.txt". I never knew you could use the wayback machine to actually download actual files or software. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another place that has an old copy of mpsigstub.exe or the entire mpam-fe.exe from before March 29? Edited April 2, 2017 by mo832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinoganda Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) There are several options, one is simply to unpack the downloaded definition file and simply copy the .vdm and .dll files to the following directory. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Definition Updates\Updates After about 1-2 minutes it processes MSE and is again current, completely without MpSigStub.exe. What I do not understand is that they download about 140 MB every day where there are also Delta updates.

The problem is if I click on March 7, it does not display the page, and I get no file download. Can *you* start a download on your iphone and does the download appear to be a proper "old" version and the latest offering from MS ? The actual link needed is http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=121721&arch=x86 which will normally start the 140mb download.

In the meantime, do you have any reason to believe that this file is a different version than the one currently posted at download.microsoft.com? It appears to be the same exact size, I want to say that on March 7 it was more like 139mb. Also, if it is coming straight from MS, they likely remove all previous versions.
