Security Center fails to notify.

After forget to reactivate my Comodo firewall at least a week, I noticed that the Security Center did not warn me. I want that it notify me with the icon in the taskbar, it never appears. Security Center is enabled, the application window displays the status of my firewall and notification options are selected, but it fails to display the icon. I uninstalled Comodo firewall and Avast antivirus and rinse the WMI repository, still no icon. In addition, if start in safe mode and then back to the normal mode, the appearance style Office goes to Windows Classic. Never had these problems before. I have Win XP Media Center and in addition have Malwarebyte Anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware installed.

Hi MadMatter,

Step 1: We recommend that you cross check if the Security Center service is running on the computer. To do this, try the following steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc and click ok.
b. in the list of services, double-click Security Center.
c. change the startup type to automatic and click on the Start button.
d. click ok to apply the changes.

Step 2: Scanner of sfc (System File Checker) to see if any system file is missing or damaged. To do this, try the following steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd and click ok.
b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow and press ENTER.
c. once the analysis is complete, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

Note: You will be asked to insert the Windows XP disk, if a file is missing.

For more information, see Description of Windows XP System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

    I recently removed "patch system" of my Dell computer XP. Malwarebyte s was the only software to do. MSSE caught, but couldn't fix it. I then updated & ran MSSE on my Toshiba - no threats not found. I then ran Malwarebytes & two threats were each one with the same name: PUM. Disabled.SecurityCenter both at the Date of the registry in HKLM\SOFTE\Microsfot\SecurityCenter\AntiVirusDisableNotify & HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsfot\securityCenterFirewallDisableNotify.  These two have been listed bad: Good (0) (1).  In the Malwarebytes wesite, I read that this has something to do with MSSE. In a commentary, he says it occurs if, in the MS Security Center, the notification "Notify me if my computer might be at risk because of my virus protection software settings" is unchecked.  I then went ahead & check all 3, firewalls, viruses & automatic updates. My computer seems to work well, except that the fan runs all the time (there are a lot of processes running & the CPU usage is very--often 100%, but the computer works fast).

    My questions are: 1) the PUM associated MSSE & the boxes unchecked in MS security Center; (2) should I click on "ignore" in the Malwarebytes scan? 3) was right to check all the boxes in the center of security - "altert me if my computer may be at rist b/c of my xxx software settings?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    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.

  • My Security Center cannot see that my Windows Defender and Kaspersky PURE are active, how to fix this?

    Whenever I invoke the turn on now, he fails to get the updates (if the Defender is out of date) or it's up-to-date (because I've updated through the Defender on the interface). Regarding anti-virus, Security Center reports that Kaspersky PURE (obviously running not far from the clock on the toolbar) is / was not found. You can see in the screenshot below. Please note that Kaspersky PURE runs (lower right corner of the image) despite Security Center claiming otherwise.

    Is there something wrong with the part of my Vista operating system or what? How I solved this 'blindness' of the Security Center? Thank you.

  • Security Center must be turned back!

    I have Windows Defender and constantly face the Microsoft Security Center window. He has to go.  Also, My Windows Security Center is turned off and I can't turn it back on... can help you?

    b. in this window, you must locate the Security Center service right click and select Properties.

    c. now, select automatic, and then select start. When the service fails to start, you will receive an error message.

    d. click the Dependencies tab and check if everything which are started and as automatic.

    Step 2:

    You can also check the following link and try to download the Microsoft Safety Scanner and perform a full scan on your computer and check.

  • Cannot depend on Security Center "the Security Center cannot start."

    I'm afraid that my computer may not be protected because I cannot depend on SecurityCenter, would appreciate any advice, thank you very much.

    Original title: when I try to activate the Security Center, I receive a message saying "failed to start Security Center" can someone tell me why?

    Hi Bluehound,

    • Since when are you facing this problem?
    • You did changes to the computer before this problem started?
    • You have a third-party security software installed on the computer

    Step 1

    First of all, check if the Security Center service is set to automatic and started. To do this follow the steps below:

    a. Click Start.

    b in the start search box type services.msc and press to enter.

    (c) in the services window, do scroll down to Security Center.

    d. right-click on it and click Properties.

    e. check if the startup type is set to automatic, otherwise it is set to automatic.

    f. click on the Start button, this will start the Security Center service.

    g. click on apply and Ok.

    Check if you can enable the Security Center.

    Step 2

    If the problem persists, you can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software on the computer and try to check if you can enable the Security Center. If you are able to start, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings. Later, re-enable the security software.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

    ------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Avast - home - free - 7.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
