I don't know if this is what we are supposed to do to resolve the issue, but
I updated the manifest file (MSASCui.exe.manifest) for defender because I was
getting the error message "This application has failed to start because
MSVCR80.dll was not found."
I added in the section for the dependency on the Microsoft.VC80.CRT and
everything starting working. I based this on the information on
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...40519&SiteID=1

The MSASCui.exe.manifest has been updated to read as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Copyright © 1981-2001 Microsoft Corporation -->
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
version="5.1.0.0"
processorArchitecture="x86"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Defender.UI"
type="win32"
/>
<description>Microsoft Windows Defender</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity

</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>

processorArchitecture="x86"

language="*"
/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

Current advice for this issue is to delete this manifest file.
