I am not able to scan and getting error code 0X80070715

[Qamar]

I cannot open the page of essential safeguards to scan, view the history or the setting, or do anything else. Every time I try to open it by clicking the icon on the desktop of an alert box appears with the error code 0X80070715 tells me to reinstall Security Essentials. The slight green icon by the white mark has moved out from the status bar. I cannot reinstall with a new configuration application because the current security fundamentals cannot be removed in the Control Panel. Is my system damaged, or what? Or is the problem with Security Essentials, yes? Is there a tool available to remove essential safety so you can re-install?

I'm not quite sure with all these technical things, but did some digging in Administrative Tools -> Services control panel. I found the "Automatic Updates" service meeting in a "start" position. I right tick on it and start or end if not a choice as I was trying to start. I right tick on it, click properties and in the window that come out, change "Startup type" from automatic to manual. I restarted my PC and when I came to Windows I went back to Administrative Tools -> Services control panel. Then you right click "Automatic Updates" and hit it off Startup. The process started and now I'm sitting on the Windows Update page in Internet Explorer. Hopefully this helps someone or someone in the future. I spent about two hours on the issue and after doing this could very well get to Windows Update.
