What version of Norton AV (IS?) did you have installed? Go back to their
help website and check that you used the correct removal tool in addition to
Add/Remove Programs removal. The Symantec removal program should work if you
selected the right one for your version of the software.

Start>Run>cmd [enter]

net stop winmgmt [enter]
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [enter]
ren repository repository.old [enter]
net start winmgmt [enter]

This will rebuild the repository database and Security Center should now
show the correct information.
