Windows 8 (solve Pc Issues) - Total Security 2013

Hi I've been running Bitdefender Total Security 2013 for a while now, and recently I noticed that windows thinks that the virus, spyware and firewall is not running.


I've attached a screenshot of what i mean, I've tried clicking on these "issues" and choosing to turn-on bitdefender protection, and it asks me to trust bitdefender which i do and then i get uac which i allow, and then nothing happens..


Other than this bitdefender appears to be running fine, it's just windows that doesn't think so..


Is this a bug with windows? or bitdefender? should i worry at all?


I have Bitdefender Total Security 2013 Build 16.27.0.1763 and its up to date, also I have restarted the PC after the update.

    Windows 8 Action Center reports incorrectly for many AV products. Try the steps below to see if it can be fixed:


    Go to the Start page and type Command. The Command Prompt search result should appear. Right click it and select to run as administrator.


    Type this:


    NET STOP WINMGMT /Y


    After that finishes, type this:


    REN %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\WBEM\REPOSITORY REP.OLD


    Close the command prompt, restart the computer, and see if the Action Center works correctly.
