Hmmm..... Does it happen for all users, or just the user represented by SID S-1-5-21-3752391563-857441031-2975066921-1000?

Did you try just a basic uninstall, restart, reinstall. I think Windows Defender is crap anyway though.

It ships with the OS (note those are Vista screenshots). He can't uninstall it.

The only thing I can think of is when I migrated from RC2 to Retail, my user setting and stuff could have run it askew.
I dont know why it is lurking in there anyway.

Hmm. You may be onto something there - I've seen other windows defender prolblems from RC to RTM upgrades in the past, so this could be it. It's usually not fixable unless you want to disable defender, as far as I've been able to ascertain.
