I am having exactly the same problem and would like to try removing the WMI repository, but, being a novice, I don't understand exactly how to run the commands.
Is this correct?
Set a System Restore point.
Open command window and then:
Type or paste (without quotes) "net stop winmgmt" and press the enter key;
Type or paste "cd/d%windir%\system32\wbem" [actually it looks as if there's a space before and after "/d"] and press enter;
Type or paste "ren repository repository.old" and press enter;
Type or paste "net start winmgmt" and press enter.
Wait a few minutes while WMI rebuilds the database. How will I know when this is finished?
Check the Security Center to see if the ghost of Norton has been vanquished.
Once again:
Start>Run>cmd [enter]
net stop winmgmt [enter]
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [enter] - yes there is a space after cd and after /d
ren repository repository.old [enter]
net start winmgmt [enter]
Reboot your computer and things should be OK now. Also check in the Security Center options at the left side ("Change how Security Center alerts me") to make sure there are checks in all three boxes.
