Apparently you have Windows Defender installed and it is failing. I
would post your question in one of the Defender newsgroups where it may
be a known issue. In the meantime, I would also check the computer for
viruses and malware per these general steps:

And here is the information about where to post WD questions:

uninstall it, then reinstall it - it's free so it
shouldn't be made more difficult then it has to be....

I can work out how to uninstall the program. Not sure how I go about
re-installing it. CHRIS.

You are posting in triplicate?
Are you using that outdated, slow, useless discussion group in the web
interface?

You are using the web interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest,
clunkiest, most error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch
to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows. See

This is not the only thread like this.
It must be sooooo slow in there tonight
When I last used it a couple of years ago, I used to wait at least 10-15
minutes for a post to appear - sometimes longer.
Wes and Malke steered me to newsgroups - some may think that was a mistake

yo chris, I just had that problem today and found out how to fix it after
dell couldn't help me with out system restore which i didn't want to do. this
is what i discovered to fix it. go to windows security center, open up
mal-ware protection and then hit the show me my the software protecting your
system and make sure that the defender id on more than likely it was or is
off once you turn it on then you can run a scan. hopes this help all with the
error ox800106ba because it helped me.

Dejavu,

Thanks for the great tip. After readin through all kinds of stuff about
uninstalling Defender and Reinstalling it, loading all kinds of codes, etc.,
your instructions did the trick. Thanks a bunch!
