Thanks for your comment, but did you read my OP? KB 931849 is the very article we tried without success to apply!

My daughter suddenly experiences: Windows Defender: "Error Code 0x800106ba Application failed to initialize"

This is a fairly new machine (running Vista Home Premium) and it was delivered with McAfee virus protection installed. The initial McAfee license is about to expire so she renewed that license for a permanent licence today. There may of course be a connection here, but I fail to see what that connection could be.

She was guided to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931849 which suggests to initially remove (uninstall) Windows Defender and then reinstall it. The only problem with this is that Windows Defender is not included in the list of installed programs that can be uninstalled, and when she tries to "reinstall" it Windows Defender is reported as already present on the system.

I checked on my own system where Windows Defender is running without any problem, and the same applies here: Windows Defender is not listed among installed programs.

I shall be most grateful for comments and/or suggestions that can aid our troubleshooting.

regards Sven
