Please Help me with security center problem
I had this same problem. My computer has a 64 bit processor and came with
Vista Home Premium (32 bit) already installed. Windows Security Center recognized every security program I evaluated. I then reformatted my hard drive and did a clean install upgrade to Vista Ultimate (64 bit). I had to do a clean install because you cannot update a 64 bit OS over a 32 bit OS. Windows Security Center recognized all security software I evaluated on it. However, the lack of 64 bit software applications forced me to go with the Vista Ultimate 32 bit. I reformatted my hard drive and did a clean install of Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Windows Security Center WOULD NOT recognize any security software, not even Windows Defender and Windows Live One Care. I know they were operating properly because I watched them in Process Explorer and Task Manager. The software also properly updated itself. Windows Security Center would not recognize the software even after I ran the software and rebooted several times. I then called Microsoft. I talked with them for appx. one hour before they finally made the decision to close the case as unsolved. I then reformatted my hard drive once again, reinstalled the OEM Vista Home Premium and upgraded to Vista Ultimate 32 bit. I don't know why but the problem has been solved. Windows Security Center now recognizes any and all security software installed and running. However, please be advised that if you install Windows Live One Care it will disable Windows Defender as Windows Defender has been "incorporated" into Live Once Care. The good part in all of this is that it takes me only 15 minutes to do a clean install of any of the Vista operating systems and only 20 minutes for the upgrade. I don't know why this is so. I don't have a superfast computer. I am running an AMD Athlon x64 4200 dual core processor on a Dell E-521 desktop, 320 GB hard drive, 2 GB of dual channel memory and an ATI Radeon x1300 pro graphics card. As you can see, this system is nothing special.

It just reports. This is the first time you've mentioned the Windows Defender problem. I suggest you contact NOD32 tech support (or look at their support website first) to see if their av program is recognized by Vista's Security Center. Even in XP not all av programs were recognized by the operating system. You also haven't given us enough information to get focused help. Here is a link that will show you what details to include in a post: http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm In general, you always want to provide the answer to The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

Please Help me with security center problem
Hi. Ok, I was running windows xp professional and have now installled windows
vista ultimate upgrade.I was originally using avast professional anti virus and have changed to nod 32.Since doing the upgrade my security centre does not pick up nod 32 i know it should be picked up as i hve it running on another pc with vista and it is recognised.As for windows defender, in security centre it has the tab to turn on now next defender when i click it , it tries to update defender it then says no updates availabe and still does not turn on monitoring.I have noticed defender does not update either when i open the program.I would like to know if this is a major problem the fact that security centre does not recognise either and i have to have it on monitor myself.
