Windows Vista - Windows Security Center reports that I don't have AV installed, but NOD32 is v2.7 (up to date)

1. Open a Command Prompt by clicking on Start->Run, entering "CMD.EXE" as the name of the program to run, and click on the OK button. The Command Prompt window will appear.

2. In the Command Prompt window, type "NET STOP WINMGMT /Y" and press Enter.

3. Type "REN %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\WBEM\REPOSITORY %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\WBEM\REP.OLD" and press Enter.

4. Type "EXIT" at the Command Prompt to close the window.

5. Reboot the system. Windows should start up as it normally does, but you may be prompted to reboot the system once more in order to finish making the changes to the system caused by resetting WMI's core repository. Allow the computer to reboot if it prompts again. You may also need to reboot a second (or third) time if the Windows Security Center still does not detect NOD32.
