Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Was Bullguard installed the first time the system attempted to update Windows Defender's definitions ? Have other updates downloaded and installed properly ?

Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I strongly hope that the system has a good warranty as you should be bringing it back to where it was purchased. Have them fix whatever it is that they broke since the system has never downloaded/installed updates nor done anything that you would like it to do. Have them uninstall Bullguard first and then check the integrity of the WMI repository. The repository 'sounds' as if it's been damaged by Bullguard or, <----- "something else" . IF they feign ignorance, tell them to type the following at an Elevated Command Prompt: winmgmt /? That will tell them how to check the integrity of the WMI besides other options available, such as rebuilding it now that Bullguard nuked it.
