WIndows Defender Updates
Make it stop!
Friday, February 24, 2006 by PoSmedley | Discussion: Internet
I recently downloaded Windows Defender. The only problem I have with it is that the darn thing will not stop updating. I have to turn it off to keep it from updating the same definition over an over. Any one else run into this or know how to fix it?

Thanks Yrag. Seems to be ok. I'll know for sure when I boot up again. That's usually when it does it.

Yrag, while I have your attention, I have a tough one for you.
O23 - Service: Bamntsstv-81 - Unknown owner - (no file)
No one knows what it is. Not even the guys at the HJ forums. If you google it, the only entries that come up for it are from my HJ forum posts. It's always running, and even though they gave me some instructions, it can't be removed. I don't have a freaking clue wtf it is or does, but HJT and WinPatrol keep bringing it to my attention.

Is this showing up in Services with no corresponding process in Taskmgr?

Got your email. I'm looking in Taskmgr, in the Processes and I don't see it anywhere. I checked my start-ups to and don't see it there.

Let's give this a shot:
Open Administrative Tools/ Services; scroll to Bamntsstv-81 or variant thereof.
Select/highlight and right click the entry and choose: Properties
On the General tab, under Service Status click the Stop button.
In Startup Type, in the drop menu, select: Disabled
Click Apply, then OK
Open Administrative Tools/ Services; scroll to Bamntsstv-81 or variant thereof.
Select/highlight and right click the entry and choose: Properties
On the General tab, under Service Status click the Stop button.
In Startup Type, in the drop menu, select: Disabled
Click Apply, then OK

A Microsoft program would never do these things.

What happens when you try to open Admin Tools? Are you logged on as an Administrator (someone with Administrator permissions)?

I only have one account on here and it is as Admin. When I click on Admin tools on the control panel, nothing happens. Everything else opens but that.

Start/ Run and type “services.msc” (w/o qoutes). Click OK.

That worked.
Couldn't click on 'Stop" because it was asking me to 'Start' it.
In Start-Up type, it was already set to 'Manual'. I changed it to 'Disable".
The settings already in there are confusing, since every time I run HJT, it lists it as running.
So now what. lol. I still don't know what the heck it is or does, and can't (should I?) get rid of it.

Get hold of yourself, Po'! 
In services.msc, when you highlight Bamntsstv-81 or variant thereof, do you see any description or information about the service -- maybe to the left of it? If you highlight a service above or below it, you will see what I mean...

This will do the trick:
Start/ Run, type: Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C} Click OK. Click YES at the prompt.
When it's done (about 5 seconds), open Windows Defender. Click the Help options arrow. Click About Windows Defender, and then click Check for Updates.
