Vista health report says I have no anti virus/spyware protection

[Nikilet]

DavidR: I wonder if you could just let me know if I need to do anything about the fact that my Environmental Variables and Path boxes looked so different from yours?

[DavidR]

They will look different as you have Vista and I have XP in my example images. The main thing is to check and see if the Path contains a reference for the wbem folder.

[Nikilet]

That's what concerns me. It didn't. When I click on Path and then Edit, what is shown in the box is ~1\DISKEE~1\;C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX.

[DavidR]

That isn't all that is in that window, what you can see in the Path field of the first/top image shows other things that are in that Variable Value field. You should be able to position your cursor in that Variable Value edit box and scroll right or left to see the full contents of the field.

[Nikilet]

Ok, this is all of what is in the box:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Smart Projects\IsoBuster;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\PROGRA~1\DISKEE~1\DISKEE~1\;C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX

It isn't worded exactly the same; mine only shows \System32\Wbem -- and not the fullC:\Windows\System32\Wbem

Unless I hear otherwise from you I am going to assume it is ok.

You are great to help me. I know others lose patience.

[DavidR]

No, it shows %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem which is correct as %SystemRoot%\ = the root directory that you have windows installed on, e.g. C:\Windows\

So yes that aspect is OK.
