Machines with AVG Business edition installed on them are showing up as not having any AV installed. What does it not see AVG as an antivirus software. It shows in the list of software installed on inventory list. Spiceworks does not seem to know that is an antivirus software. How can we correct that?

Spiceworks uses Widows Secruity Center service to get the AV information for machines. Make sure this is running on your machines.

If your still not able to see the AV, it could be AVG is not recognized by Windows SC.

You need to have Security Center running. If the service is not started, your GPO may not be allowing it to start.

Follow this and it will show up:

  • Click Start, select Run, type in Gpedit.msc and click OK.
  • Navigate through Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Security Center.
  • Double-click Turn on Security Center (Domain PCs only).
  • Check Enabled, click Apply and OK.
  • Close the Group Policy.
  • Open a CMD.exe window, type “Gpupdate /force” and click Enter.
