• What’s up with Windows Defender Offline?

  Posted on May 3, 2016 at 12:12 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  Got an interesting message from SG:

  I downloaded the latest defender offline for both 32 and 64 bit systems. Neither one works – they say that the definitions are not up to date?. An older version from several months ago still runs without that problem. I am using Win7 to download them. mssstool32.exe and mssstool64.exe

  Any ideas?
