Windows Security Center Does Not Recognize That Antivirus Is Installed

ferk

Hello

I have windows Vista and Bitdefender internet security v10

It says in the windows security center

Firewall Disabled

And Antivirus disabled

But when I go into Bitdefender it seems to be working fine.

How come vista dont find that I have this program installed?

Does it mean That Bitdefender is not working properly?

I am using my computer on usersaccount but can also log in to administrator account if nessesary.

Hello ferk

This is a windows bug please follow the instructions that I gave here : windows security center

You can see if BitDefender is working when you take a look at the colour of the BitDefender icon it must be red.

Niels,

I think that there is a much easier solution:

1. Temporarily disable the WMI service (Windows Management Instrumentation) in: Start >Run > type: services and find/stop the WMI service

2. Next delete the C:\windows\system32\wbem\repository folder

3. Restart the WMI service & restart the computer

When you re-boot, the HDD will thrash around for a few minutes to reconstruct this folder.

I never tried the solution you described. But you could be right.

Thanks for your offering your solution.

The download link in the other Thread was old and did not work

How ever I did like this and it worked(I have swedish version so "services" did not work in "run")

1. I started my computer in safe mode

2 Run "command" typed "net stop winmgmt"

3. Deleted Repository map

4. Run "command" typed "net start winmgmt"

5. Restared my computer

Hello ferk

I attached the tool at this topic. Just download and unzip it.

Thanks

But I did not need to do that.

As you see in post 5 I managed to fix it that way instead.

Hello flerk

I saw it right now. I just read it quick.

I see what is wrong to view all your running services you have to type services.msc and not services which isn't a known windows command. So that was the problem why windows doesn't know that command.
