It says "Real-time protection isn't available in safe mode.

Huh? I'm not in safe mode.

Or is this some other safe mode they're talking about?

I usually have Windows Update disabled and it wouldn't even start to update unless I started the service in services.msc. And it went about 98% then stopped and this popped up.

On the Update page it says: "The virus and spyware definitions didn't update because of an internet or network connectivity problem". Yet my internet is working fine.


Suggestions?
