Security Centre

From installing VISTA I have been obtaining the red cross on the security
centre icon in spite of updates, and defender being switched on. I was using
AVG Antivirus which may not have been recognised by the centre but that has
now changed.

I have installed Windows Live One Care, trial version, and during the
installation AVG was removed bit I am still getting the red cross in the
Security Centre while One Care is indicating the status as good.

Suggestions, please.

Reinstalling One Care should fix the Security Center issue.

Same thing happened with me today. Been running Vista Premium with Norton IS
without problems for about 5 weeks, then I see the red X. Security Center
tells me that I have no Firewall or AV (Both are included in NIS 2007 and
were running) and also the same defender problem already mentioned. Using
system restore worked.

I have the same problem Live OneCare shows green O.K. , WSC shows red.
Uninstalled Live OneCare and reinstalled - problem still exists.
