My Security Center service is disabled and cannot be restarted

also windows defender' cannot be found.

[Moved from Community Participation]

Hello

What version of Windows are you using?

What is the exact message that is shown when you click the 'Activate now' button to the center of the Action?

Make sure the service is started

Start > type services.msc

Double-click the "Security Center" service

Set it to automatic (delayed start) and click Start.

What antivirus do you use?

If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default

Microsoft Security Essentials has its own version of Windows Eefender

and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware

It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do

If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable

http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-service-in-Windows-Server-2008-or-Vista/

and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista

  • Security Center service is disabled and cannot depend on

    My service center security indicates that it is turned off and it wont let me turn it on, how can I turn on?

    Hello jackie,.

    Go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and scroll to Security Center. Click the Dependencies tab and go to each of these dependency services and click dependencies tabs until you have no more. Knit then back and make sure that each listed as a dependency service is enabled and started. Continue along each string until you finally get back to the center of security and make sure that it is enabled and started. Then do exactly the same thing for the Security Accounts Manager service. While in services, also disable and stop the service of the Defender. Restart when done and see if that helps the situation.

    MSE should start automatically in all cases (in normal mode). Even if the Security Center still has a problem, open and try to start the MSE (if it is not already started and running). If so, at least, you're protected even if the Security Center does not have to "prove" to you.

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset the operating system to normal status as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    If this does not work, we will check your system and hard disk for corruption files and try to see if there is an event that will inform you:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    , Type sfc/scannow go and let it run.  It will scan and try to the difficulty of some of your system files.  If all goes well it will complete with no corruption, could not be repaired (if there are these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    If it does not, then thanks for posting error messages in Event Viewer about the Security Center (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Look in the system section.

    If the problem persists, you may be infected.

    Update and run a scan complete with any security software you use.

    Then, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).

    Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).

  • My Security Center shows that (Security Center service is disabled).

    Respected Sir/Madam,
    My name is Rajesh Agrawal and my problem is with the Security Center on my computer, Mr President, I had a few problems with the basics of microsoft security then with the help of the thid paty uninstaller (Revo Uninstaller) I tried to uninstalled the MSE and some security center registry files has also been removed and now my Security Center shows that (Security Center service is disabled) by mistake.
    I tried to trun on but it does not work how to do. ? and how do I turn back on the Security Center. ?

    I'm sorry, but who doesn't just make sense. It is much more likely that your computer is infected and the Security Center service is not running. So, start here:

    1. make sure that the computer is really clean.
    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    2. If the computer is clean, start the Security Center service
    Start > Search box > type: services
    When Services appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK for UAC and the Services console opens high. Service center security scroll down and double-click it. Make sure it is set to automatic and try and start it. If it fails, take note of the error message you get and post here.

    I try to do a repair of the system with one or the other repair disk or installation disk.  If you don't have either, you can do a repair disc by clicking on start-> Control Panel-> backup and restore by clicking on create a system repair disc.  If this does not work, you may need to restore your computer to factory settings.  I would back up all the important files now while you still can because you don't really know how damaged your computer is.

    Good luck.

  • The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish even queries with WMI to third-party antivirus monitor, anti-spyware and firewall.

    Original title: do I have to re - install Windows 7?

    Today, I opened the Action Center and noticed that Panda Internet Security reported he was off, when it wasn't.  I checked the administrative events and one of the errors was: Security Windows Service Center could be same queries WMI to monitor third party antivirus, antispyware and firewall.  I've got Panda IS 2012 running, which is a very good program.

    I just spent a good hourzs little addressing a Panda technicina, who, after a lot of faffing autour, told me that I either set up a new profile, or I re - install Windows, I don't want to do, because I could lose the system restore facilities, (I had to ask Microsoft to help me address the issue of the restoration of the system because it did not work).  The problem with the Security Center Windows Service dates back to August 10, 2011.

    Hello

    1. which parameter is used to install Panda antivirus?

    2 did you use typical or custom?

    If you use Panda IS 2012 as an anti-virus, then Windows Security Center may have disabled the native Windows Firewall, that does send a real-time alert. You can try shooting the alert and check.
