How to reinstall Defender

[Charlie]

Vista Home Premium. I uninstalled Windows Defender and now cannot reinstall
it as the installer says "Vista already includes Defender"

Is there a work around to my dumb mistake???

How exactly did you uninstall Defender?

I have Vista Home Premium and did the same thing. I still have not figured
out how to reinstall or activate what is left on my computer. I still have
the Windows Defender files on my C: Drive but cannot open them. I deactivated
them someway. I recieved the same error message when trying to reinstall. I
also cannot delete what is left in my system.

Hi you can reinstall defender by using the restore option on your computer by
going through the start menu and accessories to system tools and restore. You
will see many restore points and the defender uninstall will show up. just
restore to the point before the uninstall. I did this and defender came back
and is working perfectly.
I hope this helps everyone. Eileen

I also would like to know how you uninstalled Defender because I'm trying to
do that now and I can't seem to find a way to do it.

You can't uninstall Defender. It can be turned off, but non uninstalled.
