Cannot Install or Uninstall an Anti-Virus in Windows Security Center

*Cannot install or uninstall an anti-virus entry in Windows Security Center*

So until the offending antivirus or Firewall entry is removed from the root\securitycenter WMI namespace, the user won’t be able to install an antivirus.

TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM:

Click on Start menu > Run > type in:

wbemtest

Click OK

Connect to root\SecurityCenter

You would need to change the root\default to root\securitycenter

Click on Query tab

Type in SELECT * FROM AntivirusProduct

Click on Apply

In the Query result window, highlight the offending antivirus and click Delete.
