Are you sure you have the latest version of Windows Defender installed?
Try going to the Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs Then download and install the final released version of Windows Defender from http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx -------------------- Stand Up & Be Counted -->

QUOTE(SpySentinel @ May 4 2008, 08:07 PM)  Are you sure you have the latest version of Windows Defender installed? I am pretty sure I do. I got WD preloaded and I am running Vista" Try going to the Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs It is a part of the OS and all I can do is disable it. Then download and install the final released version of Windows Defender from http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx This morning it was fine and I got the error while running a scan. I then restarted the scan and it went fine. I don't know what to think. I read the other post that all pointed to the same solution to uninstall and install the latest release. But I can't because it is a part of the OS. Also I read an article that said the same thing but it was from the end of 2007 I think. |

I use XP, but look under Services & see if the Windows Defender Service Startup is set to Automatic & that Log -On is set to Enabled. If no luck, or if the problem keeps occurring, you may have to disable it & keep it from running at start-up.
