You have the older beta version of Windows defender installed, and
that version expired on 31 December 2006.

What you need to do is to uninstall that version using Control Panel
- Add/Remove Programs and then download and install the final released
version of Windows Defender (still free) from
http://download.microsoft.com

Good luck
