  This is caused by Windows Management Instrumentation is not working correctly. See this Microsoft Knowledge Base article to resolve the issue - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944175/

  I tried following the directiosn in the KB article, but that did not help
  
  C:\>winmgmt /verifyrepository
  WMI repository is consistent
  
  C:\>winmgmt /salvagerepository

  There are a few instances where One Care will not communicate correctly with Security Center. Some users have reported that uninstalling and reinstalling One Care resolves the issue but I think a future update will fix this.
