What anti-virus program are you running? Name and version.

 

[knightrider]

kaspersky 5.156

Maybe it simply doesn't recognize it?
It didn't recognize AVG 6 either, when I upgraded to AVG 7 it didn't complain.

Of course, about the first thing I do is turn of that annoying security center, so in the long run, it wouldn't matter anyway

No it did recognize earlier..
I have been using from the past 3-4 months...
This problem araised 2 days back...humm

Just turn off the security center. It doesn't help as far as I know.

It's not necessary to disable security center completely. Open it up and click on the Recommendations button under Virus Protection. Check the box that says "I have an antivirus program that I'll monitor myself". The antivirus section will change to a yellow "Not Monitored" status, and your alerts should go away. Make sure you keep your antivirus up-to-date!

I agree, Security Center is very useful for making your system is up to snuff on it's updates. I like to leave it enabled.
