I have a Toshiba Laptop and I am running Windows XP and I am getting an error message when I try to start Microsoft Essentials. The Error Code is 0x80070424 and the screen says Real time protection off and vitus and spyware definitions are out of date.

It then instructs me that Security Essentials isn't monitoring your PC because the program service stopped. You should restart it now. When I click on the restart now it gives me another message. Couldn't start the Security Essentials service. The specified

service does not exist as an installed service. However when I go to my control panel it is there in my programs. How do I rectify this problem?
