Feedback: "That’s not going to resolve the issue: if the issue is caused by the Security Center service not running, then whether it contains an anti-virus setting or not won’t make any difference.
So, I think the customer has misunderstood the instruction, which *I think* was to try re-starting the Security Center Service, not to deactivate the use of anti-virus in Security Center.
There’s also another thing I’ve heard mentioned, which is the Security Center occasionally reports SAV (and the firewall) as not being installed. If Outlook is getting info from Security Center, and it thinks SAV isn’t installed, then I imagine that would result in exactly what the customer is seeing. Again, this seems to affect other vendors as well: see https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB55215. Recommended resolution from that article is to restart WMI. A reboot might also help. "
