Action Center telling me that Windows did not find antivirus software on my computer. But my antivirus software is enabled.
No idea how I can get Windows to detect that my antivirus software is enabled?

Hello
 
Scenario 1: As you get this message we suggest to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft essential Security on your computer and check if the problem is resolved.
 
Scenario 2: This problem may occur if the antivirus program is not properly installed on your computer, or if it is not updated with the latest updates.
 
Scenario 3: This could happen if your computer is affected by the horses of Trojan or virus that is not be removed from the computer.
 
You can perform an analysis online on your computer and check for the issue.
 
Now to visit the below link provided to perform an online scan on your computer.
 
Scenario 4: You can install other third pary computer antivirus program because Microsoft Security Essential is just an addon of value that comes free with Windows 7.
 
Also, you can check the link below for programs supported by windows antivirus 7.
Also try to uninstall then reinstall the security on your computer program.
Note: Make sure that you have a backup of the program of security with you.
