Vista Home 64 bit Windows Defender Wireless Problems

Has anyone else experienced issues with the recent Windows Defender
updates on 12/11/08? After this update was installed, my wireless
connection was VERY unstable. It was Disconnecting every 2 or 3
minutes.

I went into services and stopped Windows Defender, changed it to
manual and rebooted, and now everything works like a champ!

The next day, out of curiosity, I started the service again, changed
it to Automatic and rebooted and had same issue disconnecting every
few minutes. Had to change it back and it's working again.

After a google search it doesn't seem that anyone else has posted
issues with this. Just wondering if it's just me.

Thanks~

Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for Windows Defender support
and comments. This is not one of them.

TIP: Access these newsgroups using your default newsreader, not your
browser. See instructions on above page.

um.... my bad...

I had the exact same problem bro. I wish I read this before I sent my laptop
to the Sony service center because it was a huge waste of time and very
frustrating. Thanks for the tip! Now I know how to fix it
