	Sorry but you have a Grub problem. I doubt loading Bit 
Defender had anything to do with it. Since your using Karmic 
your using Grub 2 which I do not understand.

	I made a Super Grub cd-rom that lets you work with Grub 2. 
Google Super Grub and make yourself one and see what is wrong 
with Grub.
