Guest IanB Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I run AVG as my anti-virus on two Vista machines - my laptop and my desktop. On my laptop, Security Centre is happy to monitor the status of AVG but on my desktop SC reports that no anti-virus software was detected and so I have to monitor it myself. Can anyone tell me how I can get SC on my desktop to monitor AVG? -- Regards, Ian B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Richard G. Harper Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Uninstall and reinstall your AVG. It works fine on all my computers.

Guest IanB Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi Richard, Thanks for that - but I've already tried that, based on previous posts, but it doesn't do it for me! SC still reports "no anti-virus" even though I know AVG is one of the recognised programs. Any other suggestions? Is there a registry entry that needs to be amended? -- Regards, Ian B "Richard G.

Guest GTS Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Rebuilding the WMI repository often fixes SC monitoring problems.

Guest IanB Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Brilliant! All you needed to add was that the computer needs to be restarted after this change - but it has worked!

Guest GTS Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Oops - I did forget to mention the reboot need. You're welcome.
