Overnite a few times and once when I launched Windows Defender from the start
menu, I received the following message:
Windows Defender encounted an error: 0x80500f. An unexpected problem
occured. Install any available updates, and then try to start the program
again (To check for updates, click start, click all programs, and then click
Windows Update).

I checked for updates and there were none. The program seems to be running
fine until I receive this message and after.

I am running Windows XP SP2 with all updates installed. I am also running
the current beta of Windows One Care.

Dan, could you check your event log for any events around the time you're
seeing this? We think we have it fixed, but we're having a tough time with
the repro.

Thanks for trying Windows Defender!
