"It returns?"
Msa has been gone for a few hours. I've done scans, nothing's found but them annoying tmp files that can't be removed as it's being "used", I can remove it in Safe Mode, but as soon as I enter Windows it returns, my hard drive space is up to 45.7 (I've finally gotten rid of them Restore files), but I still can't get Windows Defender back. Avira has replaced WD while it's done but something that the system can't detect if offline/out of date, but something is seriously wrong with Windows Defender, I can't get it back, nor delete it.

I keep getting my access is denied when I try and rid of Windows Defender (it came with my Vista), and it pisses me off to high hell. It's not you Glisp, it's the fact I think Microsoft are assholes. The only good thing they made was the original Xbox, and Xbox 360. I've had my original Xbox for about six years, and I've had no problems with it, what's so ever, but my Xbox 360 (my original one), that is nothing more than scrap metal, it's died like three times, and I'd pay a lot of money to get it repaired to only fail again. The first was hard drive failure they sent me one and I'd gotten it two weeks later, other time was unknown, but I got an Xbox 360 Elite and it suits well in my black room. But again, Microsoft suck. No matter what they create, something will go wrong and they'll just mask over the problem. I think Zowayix said about them only fixed bugs/problems in Windows 2000 and everything else is mask-over everything else, because they're too lazy. They really need to up their security and double check their systems for holes, in which this is how Conficker came to be, because of them useless idiots. A friend of mine had Windows M.E (Millenium Edition) and he said it was completely s**t where it would crash on him, lock up, and other things he said, and he had Windows 2000 which was infected with a bad ass virus. A friend of mine said that Linux ain't all that good as he said if the system files are changed, even one, the system is fucked. Macs, ain't so good either, where in my school all we had was the old macs, Acorn II they were called here, and all it had was one game, no Internet at all. So, Windows are "good", but not perfect. Yes, it's world-wide but sooner or later they'll have to sort these problems out and not masking over, or they'll lose customers, and they will no doubt lose money, and it's bye-bye Microsoft. Hell, I'd gladly use Windows 2000/Windows 98, instead of this all new Windows crap when it's the same as what they got, but masked over. Again Windows Defender is still offline, it's been turned off and I don't have the power to turn it on yet I'm the damn admin of this laptop, and I can't get rid of Windows Defender, I can't remove IE8, (I hate it, and my Vista hates Firefox).
It's not on the main add or remove programs thing
It doesn't show up in the list at all, neither of them do.
*facepalm*
I've tried deleting them from the Program Files it doesn't work. I had this problem before with Spybot: Search & Destroy on my original laptop, I could not get rid of it.
Mind explaining how to do it, then?*facepalm*

You can NOT delete them from program files.
