I’m running AVG internet security - business edition and i’m finding that each time that AVG does a program update I start getting errors stating that there is more than one antivirus program running. WMI states that the latest and greatest is installed but Spiceworks always shows the old version and the newest version installed (EX> AVG just upgrade from 2012.0.1750 to 2012.0.2197). The only place that I found information of these two versions when you look in add or remove. I used ccleaner to remove the older install but I still get the errors. BTW: I’m using the version 925 of Spiceworks

See this script, might need to run it every time AVG updates, then reboot the system.

  • Delete AV WMI Info - Script Center - Spiceworks

    This script is to combat Spiceworks showing an Anti-Virus as still being installed even though you have already uninstalled it!

    The reason this happens is because the WMI information sometimes isn’t removed after uninstalling the Anti-Virus, which means Spiceworks will still see this as being present. This happens with Trend Micro and AVG (when using the AVG Removal tool).

    This script will completely remove all the WMI info regarding the Anti-Virus from the repository. This will then be rebuilt when the computer is rebooted, after which the info reported to Spiceworks should be correct.

    This could be run when users log off their machines to make sure it will always be correct at logon.
