Security Center says that Windows Defender is turned off

I have Windows Defender running normally on Windows Vista (the task-bar icon
is showing that Defender is on and running ok) but the Security Center is
telling me that Windows Defender is turned off and there is a button to turn
it on. However, when I press the Turn On button (even though I know it is
already turned on) I get the message: "Security Center is updating
definitions for Window Defender". After "searching for definitions" I get
the message: "There are no new definitions available to download for Windows
Defender". I'd like to solve this because the Security Center icon is always
showing me that I have a Security Alert.
