Missing MSVCR80.dll issues, resolved

If your getting the "missing MSVCR80.dll and can't download Defender" read
the blogs by Steve Dodson and Bill Sanderson=microsoft tech staff. According
to them go to your'Start' your bottom left green button and search for file
"MSASCui.exe.manifest" and then click right with mouse, click on 'delete' for
only this particular file.Then try to re-download Defender again. It works,
finally. I've been trying to download Defender this whole week with that same
'missing MSVCR80.dll' problem/bug, and just finally tried out their solution.
Of all the security software I've downloaded and use, Microsoft's
Defender/AntiSpyware has been the most troublesome; updating definitions and
updating engine software. Thank god it's still free, but it still remains a
low effective antispyware program. 4-22-06 ~3:38am est.

Correction - Steve's official--I'm just a volunteer looking in on these
groups--definitely not Microsoft--just trying to give accurate info.

Thank you! you've ended hours of frustration. Deleting the file and
reinstalling works.

Thank you! thank you! this advice works!:
" go to your'Start' your bottom left green button and search for file
"MSASCui.exe.manifest" and then click right with mouse, click on 'delete' for
only this particular file.Then try to re-download Defender again." I've been
going spare trying to solve this.
