What version of the definitions do you have?

I also had a series of problems similar to this that began with Windows
Oncecare/Defender last week including some bluescreens while using the
Performance and Reliability Tools.
After digging around a bit it looks like someone deliberately replaced DLLs
and suchlike on my copy of Defender.
Uninstall One Care/Reboot/Install One Care seems to have cured it.
I'm going to be a bit more paranoid now about letting people use my PC.
