Hello Joe,

Since you are running Vista, navigate to the shortcut for the
Command Prompt from the Start menu and "right click" the shortcut and select
"run as Administrator." Then, enter the following command:

winmgmt /verifyrepository

Let us know the result displayed.

I was being Reticent. You asked me what anit-virus i had so i answered, no
idea what else you expected me to say.
As for the security centre it is listed as on and working under malware. 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.

[sigh] You will find that providing one or two-word answers and no details
will not get you help. I'm not going to spend my time trying to drag the
details out of you. So here are links to show you what you need to provide
in order to get focused help, as well as the First and Second Questions of
Troubleshooting for you to answer. Come back with all pertinent details and
we can go from there. Or take the machine to a competent local computer tech
(not a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place).

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

And if you think your computer is completely fine except for Windows
Defender, there is a dedicated newsgroup for it:

If you choose to post there, you should provide the necessary information
for the WD experts to help you.

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.

saying there is not anti spyware doesnt make any sense to me.
