Re: McAfee not recognized as Malware Protection
I am using Windows VISTA, Upon accessing Windows Security Center, I see both
Virus Protection is not found (turned off)

Upon accessing McAfee SecurityCenter, McAfee VirusScan and Personal
Firewall are turned on.

I tried under administrator mode:

Then I tried

WMI repository is reported to be inconcistent is the ressult.

Should I reinstall my virus software downloaded from the vendor (McAfee)?
Please advise what to do for Vista to recognize my McAfee anti-virous software
