Vista - Security center reports firewall and Antivirus that has been uninstalled

Hello.

I had installed Comodo, which is a piece of junk Firewall and Antivirus
package. I have uninstalled it. In theory it is gone from my system.

However, Windows Security Center still reports:

Comodo Firewall is ON

Comodo Antivirus is ON (and out of date)

Comodo Defense+ is ON (along with Windows Defender)

I know that this information is not true, as the software is literally
no longer on my computer.

I have also tried to install a different Antivirus package, which will
not install because it says that Comodo is already installed. (Which it
isn't).

Is there a way I can get the WIndows Security Center to reset and
recallibrate what is actually installed and working? Many thanks.

Not succesfull?

Try this:
Revo Uninstaller

Still not succesful?

Re-install Comodo and then use Revo to uninstall.

Good luck

The problem may be resolved by re-starting the WMI repository:

1 - rt-click Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. Type the
following command:
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If you get a message "WMI repository is consistent", run the following
command:
2 - net stop winmgmt [Click Enter]
3 - cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [Click Enter]
4 - ren repository repository.old [Click Enter]
5 - net start winmgmt [Click Enter]
If you get a message "WMI repository is not consistent", run the
following command:
6 - winmgmt /salvagerepository
This will perform a consistency check on the WMI repository and resolve
the issue.
7 - Restart your machine.
8 - If you again get the following message instead: winmgmt
/salvagerepository is failed.
Ignore this message, and again run:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
Reboot.

I did not have to go past step 5 (although rebooting afterwards).
