Manually add anti-virus

Recommended Posts

hi,

today windows started saying that i havent got any antivirus and firewall installed

but i DO have them installed: AV= AVG Free 7.5 [latest] FW= ZoneAlarm Pro [latest]

i even reinstalled them, but that didnt matter

i already did a scan with Spybot and Ad-Aware > found 3 threads, but not relating to this...

so now my question is:

how can i manually make windows "see" antivirus products? [via the registry]

i know this is possible, but i cant remember how...

i already tried searching google, but i only found crap about how to uninstall programs [especially Norton AV :lol: ]

Do the A/V and firewall work OK? If they do then ignore what Windows is telling you.

I had a machine which had AVG installed and which did a scan every day without problems. Windows told me I had no anti-virus.

yeah, they work perfectly

i even reinstalled latest versions of both programs [which were the same versions, because i always kept them up-to-date]

but i really hate windows telling me this

isnt there a way i can disable this? [disabling the process wont work > it comes back within a second]

i know its possible through the registry, but i dont know how...

Have a look:

It is up to the manufacturer to support Security Center, not the other way around. I do know that AVG is recognized, but I do not use ZoneAlarm so I cannot provide information for that program. You should make sure all your Security Center settings are correct.
