Securitry Center does not detect Antivirus Program

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

You should check with Trend for this issue. The av software has to expose itself to the operating system, in order to be monitored. Some AV programs like to "hide" to prevent malicious programs from disabling it. This also prevents Windows from detecting that its installed.

Outside of that, what changes have you made to your system recently? Did this occur after an anti-virus update?

You could try re-installing Trend's anti-virus. Remove and reinstall. You should be disconnected from the internet, if at all possible, or at the very least ensure that your firewall is on.
