I just installed and-virus and firewall software but Vista Security Center
reports no anti-virus software installed. The anti-virus software reports
all is well.
Also before installing this I turned off Windows Firewall but still noticed
that Vista is reporting Windows Defender running and active.
I thought Defender is the firewall. I must be mistaken.
Thanks,
James |

There are two general approaches that may fix your problem. All of the
commands are typed in manually at a command prompt (Accessories menu). Run
as administrator.
Method 1:
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If WMI repository is reported to be inconcistent, run this command:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
Method 2 (force repository rebuild):
net stop winmgmt /y
cd %windir%\system32\wbem\
ren repository repository.old
Then restart

Windows Defender is Vista's anti-spyware program, not a firewall. Keep it
running, unless you experience any conflicts with your security suite (not
likely).

Found out it must have been the Anti-Virus/Firewall software I installed.
No other software caused this situation.
After uninstalling it and installing other software Vista recognizes it as
the Anti-Virus software. Also cleared up the problem with this software's
executable's
problem with it's icon in the start menu.
Thanks for the assistance,
James

I am glad to hear you got things worked out. All the renowned security
softwares show up in Security Center, I would be sceptical of AV and FW
manufacturers that do not integrate their software properly with Windows.

I have the same problem, Each time I start my computer windows security
center reports that it did not find my anti virus. I have MacAfee which was
bought with the computer and I do not want to buy another antivirus.
Especially as MacAfee is listed as one of the partners? Any ideas?
Thanks
Rosie |

Scan your WMI repository for inconsistencies, and correct them:
Open up a command prompt as administrator (Accessories menu > right-click >
Run as Admin). At the prompt, type:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
Alternatively, you can force a rebuild of the repository. At the command
prompt, type:
net stop winmgmt /y
cd %windir%\system32\wbem\
ren repository repository.old
Then reboot.

Did you try to force a rebuild, rebooting afterwards?
If it does not work, I would suggest uninstalling McAfee, force the rebuild,
then reinstall the anti-virus.

....and use McAfee's removal tool for the job. You should run it twice,
rebooting afterwards each time, in order to get completely rid of McAfee.
