Apparently you have Windows Defender installed and it is failing. I
would post your question in one of the Defender newsgroups where it may
be a known issue. In the meantime, I would also check the computer for
viruses and malware per these general steps:

And here is the information about where to post WD questions:

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/newsgroups/default.mspx

These newsgroups can be accessed via NNTP or HTTP.

To access these newsgroups using NNTP, please use the following
information for your NNTP client (such as Microsoft Outlook Express):

- NNTP Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
- Account name: privatenews\spyware
- Password: spyware

NOTE: No password will be required via the HTTP link.
