At the bottom of the main window it indicated the last scan performed was on 0. It also indicated the antispyware definitions currently installed are Version 1. I briefly. uninstalled N3. Getting back to the Windows Defender Window that opened for the first time, when I clicked yes to update the definitions, the update box disappeared and, after a pause, a Service Has Stopped Box appeared containing the message A problem caused this programs.
