Security Centre Message

[species8350]

Hi,

I am getting a message from the Windows Security Centre that tells me
'Windows did not find antivirus software on the computer'.

But I have McAffee installed which tells me that I am protected
(everything is on).

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the Security warning icon and
message.

Thanks

Hi,

Is it a more recent version of McAfee that is Vista compatible? Basically,
what's happening is that the av program isn't activating the appropriate
mechanism in the security center. This may happen with older versions of
various av programs.

Another possibility is that you have IE 8 Beta installed

Hi,

Thanks for responding

I have IE 7 installed.

I had McAfee security centre installed when I bought the pc.

McAfee always installs updates automatically, and I have never had any
trouble before.

But, for some reason, Vista is not recognisinng the antivirus
programme - it always used to.

I scan my pc regularly, and it is clean.

How can I ensure that Vista re-recognises McAffee.

Thanks

Remesh,

Thanks for the reposnse.

I have read the page, and tried both the commands:

winmgmt/verifyrepositiory
winmgmt/salvagerepository

In both case, I got the following repsonse:

error code: 0x80041003
Facility: wmi
Description: Access Denied

Please can you advise further.

Does it look like this is the problem?

If so, how can I gain access to rebuild.

Best wishes

PS. How could winmgmt have become corrupted?

Hi Remesh,

I typed the commands to rename the repository to repository.old.

I thought that things went well, but on rebooting the machine, I
received the Windows security alert icon again.

I used Windows Explorer to look at the system32\wbem folder and found
that the repository folder had not been renamed.

I assume that if my efforts were succesful, I would have two folders:
repository (freshly made) and repository.old.

Shall I try again.
