Sorry i meant i wasn't being Reticent

The same goes for AVG. Avg 8.9.405 says i am fully protected. Windows defender is not in the notification area but does popup if its been a whiles since a scan to say i need to scan. I cant find it under running programs or services but maybe i just cant see it, it is set to run under startup programs and under services in msconfig.

Hi Joe,
Sure, this is a good news I'm really surprised by that result. I expected it to tell you that your repository is NOT consistent. -=- "joe" wrote: Hi, It says WMI repository is consistent.
