Are you still using the Beta version of Defender? It is no longer supported.

If you only want to stop the error message appearing, go into RUN and type services.msc , go down the list to Windows Defender and disable it. It is, in any case, not a great deal of use if you have your own third party protection.

Which version do you have of Windows Defender? You might want to consider uninstall than
Download install and update Ccleaner After installing and updating go to options - advanced and tick prompt for registry back ups Now Start up in safe mode Do two runs 1) Click on problems and tick all. Click on analyse. At the end you will be prompted for storing a backup. This will be stored, as a default, in My documents. 2) Click on cleaner click on analyse and accept all files to be removed. thiswill remove any traces of WinDef in the registry than re-install and you should be fine --------------------  Free antivirus : AVG Free Free Anti-spyware AVG Anti Spyware Free Firewall :Zone Alarm Ccleaner Ad aware & Manual SpybotS&D&Manual Free Handy programs |

Windows Defender version 1.1.1593 is available for download here.
It is no longer installable or supported for Windows 2000. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"

This problem is usually caused when people are using the Defender beta, since it's no longer supported. Un-install through Add/Remove Programs and re-install from microsoft.com and everything should be fine.
