Error on Defender under VISTA

[Fabrice]

Hi,

since about 1 month i receive this error:
"Application failed to initialize: 0x800 106ba. A problen caused Windows
Defender Service to stop. To start the service, restart your computer or
search help and support on how to start a sevice manually."

Most of the help topic apply on XP but i have VISTA ultimate business.
I get this error every time i start up.

Hello Fabrice,
You might try this.


Go to the main Windows Update window and click on "Installed Updates" (on
the left-hand side of the window, at the bottom), and then remove "Update for
Microsoft Windows (KB931099)" (only).


Reboot. Reboot again. Go back to Windows Update, and re-install the same
update, by clicking on the Check for Updates button.


Other folks may have additional ideas for you; hope this helps a bit, see if
that helps.



I hope this post is helpful.


Let us know how it works ºut.


Good luck

Hi
i have just come across you post and you have proberly fixed it by now.
i have found this problem happens when some updates or antivirus are
installed and is easly fixed.
click on start
click on control panel (must be in classic view in control panel in vista)
double click on administrative tools
double click on services
scroll down and you will see windows defender under startup type this will
proberly say manual
right click on this and select properties
under the general tap you will see startup type,from the drop down menu
select automatic, click apply
click ok, close down services and control panel by clicking on the x top
right hand corner
restart your computer.
hope this helps all with the same problem

[The perfect fix!!!!]

Thank you VERY much Tinkerbell, it was the perfect fix!
Your directions were precise, and easy to follow.
I'm curious, how in the world did you EVER figure that one out?

 

[Michele]

Thank You Tinkerbell... You are the best this was a easy fix.

When I did what you mentioned, mine said Automatic and when I clicked on
start, it
it said it stopped that the loccal computer stopped it. It said that it
won't work if a program I have doesn't use it. I use Microsoft Anti Virus and
have Windows Vista.

 

[Ajka]

I get exactly same message even after setting it to Automatic.

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Please set Windows Defender startup to disabled or manual in this situation.

Ajka - you haven't posted what antivirus you are running.

Modedo - you are running one of Microsoft's antivirus clients, all of which
duplicate Windows Defender's functionality and intentionally disable it.
This is expected behavior.

Ajka--many other current antivirus versions from other vendors, among them
AVG, Symantec, and McAfee--do the same thing.
