windows defender screwed up

It's giving me a constant alert to update definitions, but when I do it says
there are no new ones. I also noticed that the last installed on August 5th.

What's going on?

Thanks,
John

Open Services Management Console (Type *services.msc* in Run Dialog Box)
Look for Windows Update services......Stop it and explorer to
*C:\Windows*

Rename *SoftwareDistribution *to SoftTemp or as you wish.....

Restart your PC and Check for update once again.
