Help: Windows Security Center unable to detect NOD32.

[Khalal]

Hi,

I have a problem... I couldn't find help anywhere on the net. I have found cases where windows security centre reports nod32 is out of date when it isn't. But for me, it says "VIRUS PROTECTION NOT FOUND"

What should I do? Thanks

Thanks, I seen it already. His case was that Windows report out of date, whereas mine is not found. I figure mine is more serious...

Still don't know what causes it... How to solve it....

I am wondering if I am the only one who has this problem..

Are you running SP2 and all other security related updates for XP. Originally the Security Center did not recognize Nod32.

I have the very same problem.
I did a trace on the problem and tried all the proposals.
It is listed at MS (not just Nod) but none of the solutions worked for me.
Mine worked until some MS update and then stopped working.
I just said "sod it" and turned off notification.
Perhaps I'll do a re-install one or wait for V3
I am on XP pro and XP home.

Well, as long as NOD32 works properly it's not such a big deal SEcurity Center is not detecting it.

Reinstalling SP2 should resolve it.

I am having now the same. Nod32 was always recognized, but yesterday after turning the computer on, Windows did not find the firewall AND the virusscanner, even both are running and updatd. There was no installation of any kind in the last couple of days, so it is quiet strange for me how this can happen. SP2 re-installation can not be the solution. The problem does not come from nowhere. As I said, NO installation and NO Windows updates or whatever since a couple of days. I also had to switch the notification off.

Write it off to Windows weirdness. The security center is just informative, if your AV is running and up-to-date, nothing to worry about!

As Marcos stated, reinstalling Windows Service Pack 2 should resolve the matter.

Cheers

I had the same problem on a friend's computer and reinstalling SP2 resolved it.

Thanks everyone...

ThunderZ: Yes I has the latest patch and SP2
DavidCo: Hmm, you are the 1st person I heard having this same problem...
pykko: True, but it is like a torn in the flesh, still have no idea what causes it.
Marcos: reinstalling SP2 would be quite troublesome, and the problem may come back as the cause of it is unknown.
softtouch: do you think the problem could be on Nod32's side? as the only updates is from Nod32...
SSK:
Blackspear: see above 'Macros'

I guess I will just turn off nortification and check every now and then if the the problem has gone away... Thanks people
