Additionally for the squeamish, I created a file that will merge the key for
you. You can download it here
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/defenderfix.reg You MUST perform step 2
as stated by Stuart, download the file perform step 2 then double click on
the defenderfix.reg file to merge it into the registry.
For those that use the MVP.org host file then perform the steps below to fix
the issue.
Cut and paste everything between the lines and paste it into notepad. Save
the file as defenderfix.reg and save it to the desktop. make sure you change
the save as type.... drop down box to all files. Once saved double click on
the file to merge it into the registry. Reboot.
Begin cut below this line
