Are you running Windows 2000?


Have you tried uninstalling Defender? ...and download / install the
latest one?

Did you install Windows Live OneCare?

The error message means your are still using the Beta version of Windows Defender.
The Beta copy is no longer a valid copy.
Go to the Microsoft site and download the final released copy.

Uninstall the old version and download the new one from the link below:

Also do you have Anti-virus Installed, turn the AV OFF when you do the
installation.

If all fail try to run the Run command: sfc /scannow and let it run.
Do you get an Error Message, try to look in the event viewer for any error
messages (X) reported in the Error log.
HTH.
