Windows Security Center reports antivirius that have been removed
Trying to get an antivirius that works with Vista I have installed and then
fullly unistalled 2 antivirius. The windows security center still reports that I have an antivirius and lists the two that were on my machine. Checked services and running programs and found no traces of the antivirius program Scanned the registry for the name listed in the security center and found no match (1) How do I get rid of the lsiting of the antivirius programs in the Security Center? |

Windows Security Center reports antivirius that have been removed
I had the same problem and the following steps solved it:
(1) stop the WMI service. (2) rename or delete the "repository" folder in C:\windows\system32\wbem. (3) start the WMI Service. Starting the service rebuilds the deleted folder and the database, reboot. "Pgo" wrote: Trying to get an antivirius that works with Vista I have installed and then fullly unistalled 2 antivirius.
