In general, the fix is to delete MSASCui.exe.manifest, if found.

Be sure to delete just the manifest file--not the actual executable itself.

Here are the steps as Steve Dodson posted them:
-------------------
start -> run -> c:
Press Enter
Browse to c:\ program files
then Windows Defender
Left Click on MSASCui.exe.manifest and press the delete key on your keyboard
Select yes to delete the file.
------------------
It is part of the installation process, and should be removed as part of
that.

Engel has posted the correct fix if you get a message from Windows Defender
that this file is missing.

However, in your case, you are describing a message from a Norton program
indicating that Windows Defender has a problem.

As far as I can tell--this message is erroneous--and no such problem exists.
So--by your numbers:

1) no
2) yes Windows Defender is functioning properly
3) no

I do not understand what you mean when you state: "Be sure to delete just the
manifest file--not the actual executable itself." How does one distinguish
between the two file extensions and delete only the "manifest" file and not
the "executable" file?
