well...
The windows security cener keeps saying that my antivirus (Avira btw) is not on, but when I test it by making a file that consists of
and save that as a .exe file I get a popup, or 4 to be precise..., that says A virus or unwanted program was found.
so it seems that it actually is on. does anyone know why windows would say its off?

Windows security center --> "Change the way the security center alerts me"

1 Stop the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service. (type services in search and click Enter to go to services).
2 Locate the folder "repository" in c:\windows\system32\wbem. Delete only the repository folder.
3 Now start the "WMI" service back on.
4 Wait for at least 15 mins for the system to rebuild the information.
5 Now reboot and open the security center. If it's not turned ON, turn ON and you will have the right info there.

well it stopped after Avira updated itself :/
Though it did take forever for Avira to finish the updates...
