    Every second day Windows Security Centre sends me a message that says "Eset Smart Security 3.0 reports that it is turned off". A quick check with ESS itself gives me a different message and that everything is OK. So what gives with this message? I'm running XPSP2 Home with Windows Firewall disabled. At a guess I'd say that ESS isn't reporting correctly to Windows Security Centre.

    Has anyone experienced similar messages?

    Happened to me several times - mostly restarting windows fixed the problem. Mine was caused by regrun checking for bootkits at boot up, fixed now

    The Windir fix given has a syntax error

    this is what it said on the other post

    REN %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\WBEM\REPOSITORY %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\WBEM\REP.OLD

    Any ideas to fix this?

    I usually disable the "Security Center" as it doesn't do anything else than annoy me.

    A syntax error? That's strange...

    Try doing the same, but through Windows GUI instead from the prompt:

    Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services->stop the Windows Management Instrumentation service.
    goto c:\windows\system32\wbem folder, there should be a "repository" folder. Rename it as you like. Restart.
    As I said, this is the same as posted by Blackspear, but the other way 'round...
