| | Windows defender not recognising AVG My friends computer she runs AVG the free version she also has Vista installed and Windows Defender is switching itself off and saying her computer is not covered by an anti virus. It has also stopped her accessing the internet hence my email for help on what she should do next. AVG is saying her computer is covered. |

| | RE: Windows defender not recognising AVG You could try this: Right-click Command Prompt (in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories) and choose Run as Administrator. Type (or Copy and Paste) the following commªnd: winmgmt /verifyrepository Press Enter. If the system returns "WMI repository is not consistent", type this commªnd: winmgmt /salvagerepository Press Enter. The first time you run this it will fail. (It will issue stop commands to the services causing it to fail, saying, "A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent on"). It might take a couple minutes for the services to shut dºwn. Run the last command again. You may have to run it 3 times before it finally runs and completes on its ºwn.

| | Re: Windows defender not recognising AVG AVG, Windows One Care, and many other antivirus programs shut down Windows Defender This is normal, They have their own Antivirus. Norton and McAfee also shut down the Windows Firewall. You are covered, not to worry.

| | Re: Windows defender not recognising AVG I can verify that this works. I had the same trouble, somehow found this method, and it did work. Everything is fine now.
