Vista Security Center incorrectly reports Defender switched off and no anti-virus

Well the subject header says it all! Vista Home Premium has been working ok for a couple of weeks when suddenly it reports that Defender is not switched on, and I have no anti-virus software loaded. Well, Defender is on and Avast! is definitely loaded and working. If I try to switch Defender on it searches for updates and still says it's switched off. I've re-installed Avast! and I'm still told it's not there!

Anyone else with these problems?

I am in exactly the same position but with AVG virus protection!

Anyone who can help, please?
