Two anti-virus even though one has been uninstalled
I uninstalled AVG Free and installed Zone Suite 7.1 However, Security Centre is still reporting that AVG Free is still installed! So according to Security Centre I have two (2) anti-virus installed when AVG Free has been successfully uninstalled. This cannot be secure if Security Centre thinks an anti-virus program is still installed when it has been uninstalled... SO MUCH FOR VISTA SECURITY

You could try this:
Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Type the following command: winmgmt /verifyrepository If the system returns "WMI repository is not consistent", run this command: winmgmt /salvagerepository The first time you run this it will fail. It will issue stop commands to the services causing it to fail ( saying "A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent on"). It might take a couple minutes for the services to shut down. Run the last command again. You actually may have to run it 3 times before it finally runs and completes on its own.

Hi,
It's not problem of Vista only AVG which probably was uninstalled incorrectly. Check Run - services.msc if there are an AVG services. If yes run cmd in elevated mode and use sc delete command.

I've had the same problem. Like M. Domaslawski wrote, AVG 7.5 did indeed
leave behind two entries in services.msc, however they could not be deleted, not in any mode. What I did was reinstalling AVG, then shut down the two services, and once again unistalled AVG. That did the job. On a slightly different subject: Is it possible to permanently remove entries in HKLM`Software`Microsoft\Security Center\Monitoring, even though remains from uninstalled software still lurks around?
