Are you using the absolutely latest version of NOD32? If not, you need
to get it. Refer to any instructions for upgrading on their website.

Security Center doesn't "turn on" anything. It just reports. This is the
first time you've mentioned the Windows Defender problem.

I suggest you contact NOD32 tech support (or look at their support
website first) to see if their av program is recognized by Vista's
Security Center. Even in XP not all av programs were recognized by the
operating system.

You also haven't given us enough information to get focused help. Here
is a link that will show you what details to include in a post:

In general, you always want to provide the answer to The First Question
Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things worked and the
time they didn't?

Hi. Ok, I was running windows xp professional and have now installled windows
vista ultimate upgrade.I was originally using avast professional anti virus
and have changed to nod 32.Since doing the upgrade my security centre does
not pick up nod 32 i know it should be picked up as i hve it running on
another pc with vista and it is recognised.As for windows defender, in
security centre it has the tab to turn on now next defender when i click it ,
it tries to update defender it then says no updates availabe and still does
not turn on monitoring.I have noticed defender does not update either when i
open the program.I would like to know if this is a major problem the fact
that security centre does not recognise either and i have to have it on
monitor myself.
