my windows defender service is not working. Error message is:
"Application failed to initialize: 0x800106ba. A problem has caused windows
defender service to stop. To restart the service restart or search help and
support on how to start the service manually."

How do I start the service manually?

Help....
 
I also had the same problem this morning, when none of my computers would
complete the boot sequence properly (0x800106ba error) !
I have WINDOWS ONE CARE on these computers. Why were they not updated
automatically? At the very least a notification would of been nice.

I'VE GOT THE SOLUTION - FROM MICROSOFT!
1. Go to www.microsoft.com
2. In the Search Window (upper right corner), type: windows installer cleanup
3. Click on the first heading, "Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp
Utility".
4. Scroll down and click on "Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
package now."
5. Save it to your Desktop or any folder you wish.
6. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
7. A window will pop up. Scroll down to the Windows Defender line.
8. Select or highlight that line (I had two such entries).
9. Click the Remove button. Then click the Exit button.
10. Go to www.microsoft.com and download and install the new Windows
Defender program Version 1.1.1593.0
11. That's it. Happy computing.

problem caused by Windows Defende service to stop..."

PC is on XP pro sp2 and well up grade automaticly Avast 4,7 home édition for
protection ( http://www.avast.com/index_fre.html )

What I see when I charge the new defender on my PC a windows DOS is quickly
opened and closed! It sems that it run but if I try to scan the pop up

the start menu).

In the security center Defender is runing..... What I see in the menu

technical support : version 1,1,1347,8. Last utilisation 8 may 2006 ! and
http:go.microsoft.com/?LinkId=55273
repare option doesn't change the problem. (new defender x64 program).

May be something how have no connections but it is befor the problem whith
defender to up grade IE6 to IE7
You can see the reporte in annexe behond.

No matter I try running the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility or the Genuine
Check during validation for downloading Windows Defender, I got error message
"xxx.exe is not a valid Win32 application" such that I failed to complete the
procedure you mentioned. Anyone could help please?
 
Hi usagi,

FYI.
The reason you receive "X is not a valid Win32 application" is because the
download has corrupted. This is due to lost/corrupt packets transferred
during the download.

Please redownload and try again.
 
THANK YOU! It worked! The only thing that was not clear for me was at point
8. I removed Windows Defender 1.1.1347.8. Under it was a line with Windows
Defender Signatures (1.20.1459.12). I did not remove that, because I wasn't
sure.
However, after downloading and installing the new Windows Defender it
worked! So apparently I had removed enough.
Engel recommended also to go to microsoft.com so thank you too, but I an
item by item description as Ken2 gave helped for me.
 
I followed the steps you suggested. But when I rebooted after installing the
new version of Defender, I got the following message:

MSASCui.exe - Unable to locate component

The application failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix the problem.
 
I am getting the same error message and have seen the solution of
uninstalling the beta version of Defender and reinstalling the latest
version. My concern is: I am currently running Norton Internet Security
Suite 2007. Will solving the "Windows Defender failed to initialize" error
cause a war between Defender and NAV?
