Larry:
I'm glad it worked for you!
I did run LiveUpdate several times today, but nothing. So I read
through Symantec's website, and it suggested that I run a check using
an ActiveX control to see if things were up-to-date.
http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/sp2/asa.html
Well, the results page suggested that there was something I could
update -- which turned out to be an update to LiveUpdate itself. But
no WMI related thing was installed.
My Security Center still doesn't show my Virus Protection status as
"ON". My WMI services seems to be running, but for whatever reason,
the update I needed didn't install.
For others wondering about the Security Center and third-party
integration, see:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=883792&product=windowsxpsp2
It states that Norton Antivirus was the only program that couldn't
expose it's readiness stance natively. If you read the details:
http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/sp2/faq.html?src=ivr_na_con#9
you see how they call it "tamper protection".
Symantec's comprehensive info page can be found here:

Frank
