Under Spyware Protection, I have entries for Spybot S&D and Avira AntiVir,
both of which are no longer installed. The AntiVir entry is also marked as
On, which is not possible concidering its not there.

How can I get rid of these unneeded entries? I have removed all traces from
the registry and the filesystem.

Click to expand...

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. It might take a couple minutes for
the services to shut down. Run the command again. You actually may
have to run it 3 times before it finally runs and completes on its own.
Reboot your system.

If the above doesn't work, do the following from an elevated cmd prompt:

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

I got this when performing the first command:

WMI repository is consistent

This I assume makes the rest of your instructions not applicable. What
should I do now?

Thanks.

Sorry, wrong assumption. I should have been clearer. Do the second part
of my instructions.
