Vista - WINDOWS SECURITY CENTER

USING WINDOWS VISTA, ZONE ALARM and COUNTERSPY

Windows Security Guard does not recognized the third-party applications both
are on.

In the past Zone Alarm and Counterspy were detected. What happen ?

information. You can try repairing the repository that has the
information about your security software (and I assume that you have a
version of ZA that includes an antivirus?) as follows:

Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Type the following
command:

winmgmt /verifyrepository

If the system returns "WMI repository is not consistent", run this command:

winmgmt /salvagerepository

The first time you run this it will fail. It will issue stop commands
to the services causing it to fail. It might take a couple minutes for
the services to shut down. Run the command again. You actually may
have to run it 3 times before it finally runs and completes on its own.
Reboot your system.

If the above still doesn't work, run cmd as Administrator and:

net stop winmgmt [enter]
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [enter]
ren repository repository.old [enter]
net start winmgmt [enter]

If none of that works, what antivirus do you have installed?
