Perhaps the software might be corrupted, does windows vista still have system restore, if so you should do that from when the software was working/when your computer didn't prompt you about the software not existing.

Vista here too.

I had a similar, but not identical, problem recently. In my case, although McAfee had been completely uninstalled (and it was), SC reported that I had two firewalls and two antivirus scanners running: BitDefender and the "old" McAfee.

RUN THE FOLLOWING AS ADMINISTRATOR:

> c:
> cd \windows\system32\wbem

> winmgmt /verifyrepository [enter]

If the system returns "WMI repository is not consistent", run this command:

winmgmt /salvagerepository [enter]

The first time you run this it will fail. It will issue stop commands to the services causing it to fail. It might take a couple minutes for the services to shut down. Run the command again. You actually may have to run it 3 times before it finally runs and completes on its own. Reboot your system.

If the above doesn't work or you get "WMI repository is consistent", do the following:

> net stop winmgmt [enter]
> ren repository repository.old [enter]
> net start winmgmt [enter]

RESTART VISTA

The sequence above eradicated my problem. It might, yours.
