Windows security centre will not recognize Avast 4.8
« on: October 08, 2009, 10:02:44 PM »
All of a sudden the security centre does not recognize Avast.  I am using Windows XP.  Any idea how to fix the problem. Security Centre is set to notify me if virus protection is not present.  I have reinstalled Avast and rebooted, to no avail.

It isn't an issue with avast but the WSC, which can be flaky at times.

Or

Windows XP SP2, SP3 Start, Run, type cmd and click OK from the command prompt type 'rundll32 wbemupgd, RepairWMISetup' without the quotes and enter.

Tried the above but got the message: 'error loading wbemupgd' - 'specific mogual could not be found'

Any ideas/help? many thanks.

Sometimes, Windows Security Center stops recognizing your antivirus or firewall... So, check your system time and date and also http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=23457.msg193534#msg193534
