I've seen so many postings rehashing the same old problem and there is
-every- version of it except mine here, which leaves all of the solutions
totally useless, unfortunately. PLEASE help if you can. Here's the story
New laptop
Windows Vista Basic (Defender cannot be uninstalled, thanks a lot Microsoft)
sterted it up 1st time, uninstalled free trial Norton
Installed McAfee
Defender kept saying there was a problem and restarting my computer endlessly
Went into setup and restored (figured since no restore point had even been
made yet, this would be back to the original setup)
Looked like it worked, McAfee gone, Norton back
Tried to use Norton trial until I bought 2007 version, couldn't do it
(program there but not being recognized)
Since restore, Defender keeps saying there is the 0x800106ba problem but
computer works
I put pointer over Defender in Toolbar and it says "run blocked program" as
1 of the options, I move the cursor over to see what program it is and it
says "McAfee Install"
Go to Search and deleted every McAfee leftover I could find
Now Defender isn't in Toolbar anymore and won't execute when I click on it
in programs, but instead gives me the error message "0x800106ba, etc."
everytime.
It also gives this message at startup every time.
What do I do to get rid of this and have Defender work again, since
Microsoft can't let me decide whether to delete it on my own
