Vista - Windows defender reinstall issues

Hi, I am seeing that there is alot of issues with reinstalling defender when
it was uninstalled.
I have tried this and it worked.
go to start, accessories,system tools and then to restore. The program will
allow you to return the system to a point before the uninstall. You will see
many restore points and the defender uninstall will show up. just go to the
restore point before the uninstall. I hope that it works for you guys. It
worked for me and defender is working normally.

You UNinstalled Windows Defender from Vista?
Just how did you manage that, exactly?

What makes you think that Windows Defender has been uninstalled? That is not
likely going to happen.

Go to start and type Defender in the search box. You should get an entry in
the top window. Click on it.

Windows Live One Care does not uninstall, or require you to uninstall Defender,
it only disables it as Defender's capabilities are built into One Care.
