Windows Defender failed message (???)

Hi all, I've bought a Inspiron 640M from Dell with Windows Vista.

When I got to the Windows, it showed this message:

I don't know what to do for it disappear now. Can anyone help me please? How to fix it? I restarted computer for many times.

I found an article here on Microsoft's Help Forum. I can't say it will solve the problem, but it may be a start. I'll keep looking.

Thank jennwill99! I tried what the article said but it didn't work.

Beside, I don't see the add/remove programs anywhere in Windows Vista. It has Programs and Features option in control pannel to remove programs, but I don't see windows defender there :(.

Help me out! I appreciate it!

Mine is Dell 640M come with Vista. I just bought it on Feb.15

I'm even thinking about returning it. :womanmad: So many trouble with vista.

But anyway, it'll be nice to have this problem solved.

Thanks!

Did your Dell 640M come with Vista or have you installed it yourself? If you installed it, did you ever have a beta version of Vista or Windows Defender?

If so, check this article.
