Hey you good DU computer people. I need to change the path of three .log text files back to their default location. Here's a description of my problem, which is more of an
annoyance than a problem:
I began receiving this error message when booting in event viewer about 10 days ago
The WinDOZE Security Center Service was unable to load instances of AntiVirusProduct from WMI. Since I set my AV monitoring preference turned off & "I'll monitor it myself" I wasn't aware of it until 2 days ago. I tried an uninstall/re-install of my AV (Avast5), rebooted and checked event viewer--AV still not recognized by WinDOZE. I tried deleting (several times} the repository folder in C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem by pausing the WMI service once and stopping it once, deleting the repository folder each time--rebooting after each to see if the problem would be resolved when the repository files & folders re-generate. No joy. Anyhow, somehow while I was tinkering with some other tools I found (like this one):

Thanks!

Edit to add: I've run a full (boot) scan with AVAST, quick scans w\MBAM & SASW, not even a tracking cookie found, so I'm pretty confident this is not malware related, probably a corrupted file or reg value somewhere in WMI.
