Registry Cleaner Removal

I have a Windows XP Sp3 Computer

I have norton anti-virus 2008 uninstalled long time ago.

I used the Norton Removal Tool and TuneUp Registry Cleaner to remove it

Now I have Pc Tools Internet Security

I turned off the firewall of PC tools ( just for testing)

But to my shock, Windows Security Center said that

Firewall ON

Norton Antivirus is currently ON. A firewall helps computer against viruses and other security threats

Weird right? I have no Norton AV right now…. What should I do?

I had a similar problem & this is what I did to fix it:

1) Right-click on My Computer

2) Click on Manage

3) Click on the plus sign(+) next to Services and Applications in the left-hand column

4) Click on Services

5) Find the service called Windows Management Instrumentation, right-click on it, and choose Stop.

6) Open My Computer

7) Double-click on Drive C (or whatever drive Windows is installed on)

Double-click on the Windows folder

9) Double-click on System32

10) Double-click on WBEM

11) Right-click on the Repository folder and click Delete and remove it

12) Close the My Computer windows and return to the Windows services screen using steps 1 – 4 shown above

13) Find the service called Windows Management Instrumentation, right-click on it, and choose Start. Restarting this service will rebuild the repository folder information.

14) Restart your computer
