Microsoft Security Center service failed

Hey riri,.

I'm having the same problem.  Apparently there was a virus on my laptop and removed McAfee.  This is when I started having the problem.  There is no Windows Security Center Service in the services and I am trying to apply the fix you recommended.  As long as the service is removed, I keep getting messages to turn on my firewall.  McAfee is on, but I need to go to the Security Center to turn on the firewall.

When I extracted the folder, and then double-click the folder, w7-wscsvc, it opens and the name of the file is there.  Double click on that and a text file opens.  What am I supposed to do with it?  Please indicate ALL steps... Please.  I'm not sure that the Windows topic is correct, but the service needs to be installed to I choose install, upgrade and activate.

Thank you..

Then, you can click just edit in the title of the question at the top of the page to eliminate the confusion.  Describe the problem as a new question so evreyone understands everything that is bad.

But, as you have McAfee, who set first.

And, once more, McAfee provides your Windows Firewall not.

Post an update after you run the fix for McAfee.
