I just noticed this the other day. &nbsp;One of our client PCs was showing an error in the AntiVirus Report. &nbsp;I didn't think too much of it, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the AntiVirus on the client workstation (Win 7 Pro Symantec). &nbsp;It seems what happened after I did that, was that it created a new entry in the Report showing the workstation is now ok but the old entry is still there as well. &nbsp;I have no idea how to remove/correct the duplicate entry.<br />
<br />
The full message is :<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
The client computer WMI datastore might be corrupted. &nbsp;Information for virus protection for the file system cannot be collect from the Security Center

On the client machine I did run: &nbsp; winmgmt /salvagerepository &nbsp;just to make sure it is running ok on the client machine.<br />

SBS 2008 Console Security Tab Antivirus showing client twice with an error

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
