Try this technique; it doesn't require the old WD to be installed. Get rid
of the run registry key for Windows Defender. You can use Spybot (Tools -
System Startup). If Windows Defender shows under Services (you can use
Administrative Tools), stop WD and disable the service. Reboot. Now delete
Windows Defender folder under Program Files. Use Search with Defender as the
file name search argument. You should see several entries for Windows
Defender under Application Data. Delete these entries. Next run Ccleaner
using Issues. This will remove the registry entries. Now Remove the current
signature file. To do this, click Start, click Run, type Msiexec /x
{A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}, and then click OK. Now you should
be able to install Windows Defender. Let me know if you have any problems.
