Event Error SecurityCenter ID: 1802

I'm experiencing the following error warning every time W XP starts:
##
Event Error SecurityCenter ID: 1802

The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish event queries
with WMI to monitor third party Antivirus and Firewall.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
###

I have the XP proprietary firewall active and use a third party Antivirus
software up to date that is not monitored by the system but why this is
referring to the firewall?
Thanks in advance

Stopping and Starting the WMI Service

If you are experiencing problems with the WMI service you might need to
manually stop and restart the service. Before doing so you should enable
WMI’s verbose logging option. This provides additional information in the WMI
error logs that might be useful in diagnosing the problem. To enable verbose
logging using the WMI control, do the following:
1.Open the Computer Management MMC snap-in and expand Services and
Applications.
2.Right-click WMI Control and click Properties.
3.In the WMI Control Properties dialog box, on the Logging tab, select
Verbose (includes extra information for Microsoft troubleshooting) and then
click OK.
Alternatively, you can modify the following registry values:
•Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\L ogging to 2.
•Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\L ogging File Max Size
to 4000000.
After enabling verbose logging try stopping the WMI service by typing the
following
Open a run command prompt:
net stop winmgmt

If the net stop command fails you can force the service to stop by typing
this:
winmgmt /kill

Important. If you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 the WMI
service runs inside a process named Svchost; this process contains other
services as well as WMI. Because of that, you should not try to stop
Svchost;
if you succeed, you’ll stop all the other services running in that process
as
well. Instead, use net stop winmgmt or winmgmt /kill in order to stop just
the WMI service.

You can then restart the service by typing the following command:
net start winmgmt

If the service does not restart try rebooting the computer to see if that
corrects the problem.
If it does not, then continue reading.

Can you search for these two files on your System and let me know the
whereabout they located if any.
Did you tried to create a new profile and see if that will work okay?
Mine located he

c:\Windows\System32\wbem
C:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistrubition\SelfUpdate\16b.... ..

If you find it in one of these direcoties copy it to the other and Reboot
your machine please do this for both files and Reboot your machine and see if
the WMI is restored.

If the above didn't help please contact me with your Hijackthis log.

nass,

If you are referring to the 2 Files that the registry command entries you
posted earlier that did not load before (wbemprox.dll) and (Fastprox.dll)
they only exist in :: C:\WINNT\system32\wbem in my system.

Specifically where do they need to be copied?
I have the following $NtServicePackUninstall folders under C:\WINNT ::
$NtServicePackUninstallIDNMitigationAPIs$
$NtServicePackUninstallNLSDownlevelMapping$

Do they need to be copied under:: C:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386\ also?

As for the:: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistrubition\SelfUpdate\16b.... ..
Mine is :: C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistrubition\SelfUpdate\ containing only two
folders :: \Default & \Registered ?

Did you mean a new profile, a new computer username?

Abigail

nass,

At reviewing back the thread I performed all it was left to try from the
following point:

#######################

Setting The Default WMI Namespace Security:
http://community.spiceworks.com/educ...ty?query=W MI
Setting The Default DCOM Properties And Security:
http://community.spiceworks.com/educ...s_And_Security


Right click My Computer and select Properties. On the System Properties
click on Advanced tab then click on [ Environment Variables ] Button and
under System Variables make sure these settings correct:
Variable | Value
ComSpec %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe

Path
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32 \wbem;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRo ot%\System32\Wbem

PATHEXT .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH
TEMP %SystemRoot%\TEMP
TMP %SystemRoot%\TEMP
windir %SystemRoot%

NOTE the above copied from the Edit Window, it will take the Path letter
C:\Windows\Temp for Exm..

#######################

Results:

After opening dcomcnfg.exe the windows firewall warning dialog prompted that
the item is being blocked, therefore I selected to

unblock and continued resetting the defaults exactly as recommended in the
link above.

After completing anything else that it was not attempted before and
rebooting it seems like the Event Error SecurityCenter ID: 1802

is gone but now I'm getting a new event warning with the following
Description: A provider, HiPerfCooker_v1, has been registered in

the WMI namespace, Root\WMI, to use the LocalSystem account...

I performed an additional WMIDiag scan and it is reporting Warnings,
additionally I performed the Hijack This tool diagnostics scan

and I forwarded the results of both to the e-address you are providing.

Thanks
Abigail

Hi Abi,

About the warning for HiPerfCooker_v1 is related to the "Formatted
Performance Data Provider" hence "Cooked Counter Provider" :

Yes I mean copy the Two files to the locations I meantioned in my previous
post:
c:\\WINNT\System32\wbem
C:\\WINNT\$NtServicePackUninstall$
C:\\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386
C:\\WINNT\SoftwareDistrubition\SelfUpdate\16b..... .

I didn't get your message but here my address again and please Note that ( _
