Hello Alf,
Try these two solutions:
A) You can repair Windows AntiSpyware using Add or Remove Programs in
Control Panel. Click Microsoft AntiSpyware and click Change. Click Next, and
then click Updªte.
B) Use the Repair Function in the ADD / REMOVE PROGRAM section in the
Control Panel.
Then, try these steps:
1) Open up a command prompt (start -> run -> type in -> command)
2) Type in the following "regsvr32 msvbvm60.dll" (without the quºtes).
3) Close and re-open Windows Defender.
You can go ahead and do both of these--neither has any downside risk--and
see if that does the jºb.
Let us know whether it does, or nºt!
