Kaspersky vs Vista

Every once in a while Vista decides that "Kaspersky Anti-Virus is turned
off."

Kaspersky is turned on and reports that it is running happily.

When I try and force the issue by going to Windows Security Centre and
'Turn on Now' - the confirmation 'Yes, I trust this program and am ready
to run it' is ignored by Vista, and I get thrown back to square one.

(I have no such problems with Kaskersky and Win XP SP2.)

Anyone have a solution - short of downgrading to XP?
Thanks
 
Have you checked for updates that improve compatibility with Security Center
or uninstall/reinstall Kaspersky?

uninstall it and use a better product like Grisoft AVG Antivirus 7.5 Free.

Thank you Andre for the only sensible (and on target) suggestion. I have
sent a message to the Kaspersky Forum for guidance (and no,
install/uninstall did not work).
