Security Center - "check your antivirus software status"
My home PC is preloaded with Windows Vista Home Basic edition (32-bit) and
has AVG Antivirus Free v7.5.485 installed. I am puzzled by the recent pop-up message after the startup of my PC. It is reported that "AVG Antivirus is turned off. Click here to fix the notification", although the AVG icon has well displayed on the notification area (system tray). Meanwhile, as suggested by a member of the Discussion Group, I tried "winmgmt /verifyrepository" at the command prompt with a positive result "WMI repository is consistent". Appreciate if any suggestion will be given to improve the adverse condition. |

Security Center - "check your antivirus software status"
You could try this:
Right-click Command Prompt, and Run as Administrator. Type (or Copy and Paste) the following commands, pressing Enter after each one: net stop winmgmt cd %windir%\system32\wbem ren repository repository.old net start winmgmt This will rebuild the Repository, and by extension, rebuild the Vista Security Center. You may have to restart your computer to see a change. "AChung" wrote in message ...

Security Center - "check your antivirus software status"
Hi, Dean-Dean
Thank you for your prompt response. I have tried the command prompts and regret that they do not work on my home PC. It may be a problem on the Vista Security Center to detect the antivirus software status. As a result, I temporarily disable the Security Center to monitor my antivirus because of the annoyance arising from a false alarm on each startup. Hopefully, an update will automatically be made available from Microsoft. Regards. "dean-dean" wrote: You could try this: Right-click Command Prompt, and Run as Administrator.

Security Center - "check your antivirus software status"
I have just had the same problem which appeared after thev daily Vista update
check - Windows Security Centre saying no anti virus and Defender turned off. I found a fix for the repository on the Kaspersky forum which involves manually deleting it and allowing it to rebuild. You first have to switch off the Windows Management Instrumentation which takes some finding. Anyway check http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php...ecurity+center Apparently its a common problem with Vista and all anti-virus systems. |
