RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Remove the current signature file. To do this, click Start, click Run, type Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}, and then click OK.

2. Open Windows Defender. To do this, click Start, click Programs, and then click Windows Defender.

3. Check for new definitions. To do this, click the Help options arrow next to the Windows Defender Help icon, click About Windows Defender, and then click Check for Updates.

 

If it still don't work, go to Windows Update, do an express, download the update and re-boot.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.
