Please Help with Windows Defender Error

[Nash55]

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have read so many documents and tried so
many things that do not work. When I turn on my computer I get this error
message about windows defender.

Error Code 0x800106ba Application failed to initialize....

I found this article "Article ID: 931849 - Last Review: May 4, 2010 -
Revision: 3.0" . I tried everything and nothing worked. I got to the last
option, #4 and this file wuaueng.dll was not succefull in running.

Here is what the last option # 4 says to do.

If this issue is not resolved after you complete step 3, follow this step:
Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 file name, and then click OK.

Note In this step, file name is a placeholder for the following files.

Repeat this procedure for the following files:
wuapi.dll
wuaueng.dll (would not process)
wucltui.dll
wups.dll
wuweb.dll
atl.dll
softpub.dll
wintrust.dll
initpki.dll
mssip32.dll

Cans someone direct me? I have windows Vista -64 bit.

wuaueng.dll is something to do with windows update .. so first let's try
resetting windows update on your computer. Use the 'fixit' on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

Did that fix your problem?
If not .. download, install and run superantispyware:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
Now uninstall and re-install Windows defender.
Download from here:

Did it fix your problem?

Why not uninstall Defender and install MSE?

The simplest solution might be to use System Restore back to a point prior
to when this happened. Of course, if you do this, you'd have to reinstall
things added since then. But if it was more than a few weeks ago you're
probably not going to have this option.

Windows Defender is a Microsoft program. It is not used/installed when
installing MSE.
