There are know issues with Spiceworks not being able to detect certain brands and/or versions of AntiVirus.

Post the name and version.

were using trend micro WFBS v7 some of them have picked up fine with this version :slight_smile: but but 30 have not but they do have AV installed :slight_smile:

False positives are usually the result of an AV not registering properly win the Windows security tool and/or WMI issues. Do the same workstations report all of their other data properly?

yes they are repoting other items fine its very wierd i will check again but im pretty sure that everyting else is there and fine :slight_smile:

Make sure that he Security Center is enabled on the affected amchines. Spiceworks obtains AV info from there, so if it’s diabled it won’t show up. Does the Client-Server Security Agent appear under software for the affected machines?

cheers grey i have enabled a test GP on my OU will post back results :smiley:

and yes it does michael its very strange but i have now enabled security center so i will check it out today :slight_smile:

After you have confirmed Security Center is active double-check a workstation to confirm the AV shows up as active/up-to-date there.

Then find that workstation in your Spiceworks Inventory and do a Tools → Rescan to fully rescan it.

Afterward does the Configuration tab show any AV (even if not up-to-date)?

Note that server OSs don’t have Windows Security Center, so they’ll require a special “by name” listing such that Spiceworks recognizes the exact AV name. Post up a screenshot of the Software tab to show the AV as listed on one of the servers.
