Defender gone from Vista
My granddaughter's laptop got the eco (green) antivirus extortionware, and I
manually removed it. It somehow removed the core files from Defender, and now it won't start or run. Suggestions? (besides a format please) Tony

such which loosely translated meant that Defender is built into Vista. Tony "KristleBawl" wrote in message ...
