How Do I Get Security Center to Recognize My Antivirus Software?
Windows Security Center is a tool on a computer running Windows XP, Vista or 7. It monitors your computer for security software such as a firewall or anti-virus program. Windows Security Center recognizes many anti-virus programs; however, there are some that Windows will not recognize. If you are using one of these programs, the Security Center will alert you that no program is running, even if your software is working correctly and enabled. You can instruct Windows that you are using alternative software that you will monitor yourself to turn off these alerts.

If you have anti-virus software enabled that Windows does not recognize, click "I have An Antivirus Program That I'll Monitor Myself" or "I Have An Antisypware Program That I'll Monitor Myself." Windows will no longer alert you that your anti-virus software is off.
