Permanently disabled, Windows Security Center cannot be re-enabled or restarted.

So I opened a file (like a fool) obvious malware and there is the Windows Security Center will be automatically disabled. Reactivation and restarting via the menu of Services only solves the problem for a minute or two, after which I get an Action Center message informing me that the Security Center is disabled later. I ran full scans with Malwarebytes and AVG Free, which neither identify all threats. Spybot S & D seems to identify that Security Center is not running, but "fixing" with S & D only reactive and restarts the service, after which it is invalid promptly thereafter. Can anyone help?

The fact that you can re-enable and restart the service and then see off again (if I understand correctly your information) is a strong indication that there is still an active infection on your computer (as opposed to the impossibility for the throw at all which is often the result of inflicted malware corrupted registry).

Use the Windows Firewall and BFE (base filtering engine)?

I recommend that you run the following tools in more malwarebytes and AVG.

    a. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.

    b. double-click Security Center, click on tab log .

    c. Select "this account" click on the Browse button, type Local Service and click ok.

    Hello WK99,

    1. you have any software from third-party security installed on your computer?

    If you have security software installed on your computer, I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the security software.

    If still does not work, run a file system on your computer check tool. You can read the article which will give you information on how to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  • Windows Firewall and Windows Security Center cannot start. In addition, no WSC in the services.msc list. What should do?

    Hey guys. I looked up and down for a solution to this problem.

    I already tried this solution:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/12/27/error-code-0x80070424-with-Windows-Firewall-and-quot-base-filtering-engine-service-quot-not-available-in-services-database-list.aspx

    Although the only problem is at last step when I turn on the firewall Windows or WSC (windows Security Center) since neither of them are present
    in the list of the services.msc.

    So here I am without any windows security, no firewall and no updates. I really need help here. I was attacked by malware, a day ago, and everything happened after that. I removed the malware with program ESET NOD, but it seems that the malware corrupted my registry/safety inputs.

    What antivirus program you have installed? Many antivirus programs and security have their own version of a "Security Center" that take for the one integrated in Vista/XP. If this is your case, then the behavior you're seeing is by design.

    If this is not the case, your computer is probably infected.

    There is no way for us to know who it is from what you wrote, please supply, the lack of details to get more help.

    The first Question of troubleshooting: what has changed between the time where things worked and the time, they did not?

    The second issue of Windows troubleshooting: what is the status of virus/malware of the machine? If you think it's clean, what programs (and versions) allows you to determine this?

  • Windows Security Center is disabled and there is that no Service security not listed under services. Also, the Windows Firewall does not work.

    I have a security alert window in the center of the Action, which shows me that the Security Center Service is disabled. When I try to turn it on by clicking the Activate button now, I get the message: could not start the Service Windows Security Center without any error code. When I start my program I see no registration for the Security Service in services.msc. I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. I tried to scan with Microsoft Security Essentials, which is updated. There is no threat detected. For which I am sure that I use it for some time now about a year and a half. I got no software or hardware change recently. Also, I'm not able to update my Windows Firewall settings. When I try to change the settings there is a message: Firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424. Please help as I have tried to go well as each answer or the Forum but without success. What is a bug MSE or a real problem.

    When you have imported the registry key, you probably do not change the permissions on the registry keys.

    Reach

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BFE

    Right click on it -permissions

    Click ADD and type

    Everyone, and then click ok

    Now click on all

    Below, you have the permission for users

    Select full control, and then click ok

    DO the same for the "reg" MPSSVC so key which also returns access denied.

    Make sure also canceled to start service to invite you, he should be admin/elevated command prompt.

    Also, you may need a system restart after changing the permissions on the registry key.

    I hope this helps.
