The odd thing is, I’ve never had any problems with the security center recognizing avast. I understand there were some problems while SP2 was still in its earliest beta stages, but the Alwil team managed to get the MS people to correct that part of SP2 long before its final release.
Even my Everest (SysInfo on steroids
) recognizes avast, although it’s unable to pin it down to version number.
What doesn’t recognize avast, rather surprisingly, is ZA 5.5 (home edition).
