I installed Windows Defender but my computer keeps telling me that MSASCui.exe isn't installed and also MSVCR80.dll isn't either. Can someone tell me how I can rectify this problem. I have looked on the Microsoft site for help but can't seem to locate anything that I can use. I am a bit of a novice with all the technical stuff so please be patient with me if I appear to ask silly questions!! Thanks for any help offered. Kind regards Jayne0110  Moderator Edit: Moved topic to more appropriate forum. ~ Animal This post has been edited by Animal: Nov 5 2006, 05:40 PM |

MSASCui.exe is part of Microsoft Windows Defender, which is a spyware removal program originated from Windows AntiSpyware. MSASCui.exe is run in background silently.
Uninstall Windows Defender in add/remove programs in your control panel, reboot and then reinstall it from the Microsoft website. Microsoft Windows Defender http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx This post has been edited by Enthusiast: Jul 31 2006, 04:15 AM |

Hi Jayne0110, welcome to BC.
It's a known issue with some defender installs. In windows explorer, go to your c:\program files\windows defender folder. Locate and delete the "MSASCui.exe.manifest" file. Restart your computer. |

Thanks HitSquad, you tha man!
 I had removed and reinstalled Defender a couple of times with no improvement. Kept getting the MSASCui.exe error message at boot-up. I finally read your post on my first visit to this site, deleted the MSASCui.exe.manifest file as you suggested and all works as it should. I verified MSASCui was running with the Windows Task Manager. Reggards, Vasni |

I think Windows Defender is also hogging my processor time, so my Google search led me to this thread in this forum.
In my C:\Program Files I do see a Windows Defender folder, but none of the 18 files it contains is MSASCui.exe.manifest . So I can't follow the advice above and delete it and reboot my computer (an 18-month-old Toshiba laptop running Windows XP SP2.) The Windows Defender file does, however contain a file named MSASCui.exe . Should I delete that file? I'd still also appreciate instructions on HOW TO UNINSTALL WINDOWS DEFENDER, and also recommended alternative spyware/malware protection programs. THANKS! |

Oops! I forgot to check the 'Enable email notification of replies?' box when I added my reply above. So I'm posting this reply only to enable that.
