  Unfortunately, we are beginning to see occasional reports on the MS Community forums of such behavior involving MSE and Security Center - usually, but not always involving XP.

  See the response of Reallyoldguy in this thread - maybe his fix will work for you: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/mse-protect_updating/security-center-reports-microsoft-security/9de04320-fc8f-4f57-bb87-192be2d29b22

• Security Center Windows is no protection against the virus, even if my anti virus program is updated and active

  Original title: Security Windows symbol said no protection, but my anti virus software says that there is no threat to my computer. My anti virus system is up to date (Kaspersky). Why the red with an x on it to declare shield than the anti virus protection is disabled

  My antivirus program is up to date and said that everything is fine, however the red shield with the x is always on and says no virus protection is on

  It's never happened before. What's wrong?

  Hi Pitbulls,

  Many users of Kaspersky have this same caveat, but this is a simple hoax. There is a fix to get rid of the pesky warning permanently:

  Try these steps and see if they help:

  Step 1:

  1. temporarily disable the WMI (WMI) service in:

  a. start > run

  b. type: "services.msc".

  c. and there find/stop WMI

  Step 2:

  Then delete the folder C:\windows\system32\wbem\repository

  Step 3:

  Restart the WMI service using the same procedure that you used to stop and restart the computer

  It's probably the Windows Security Center that falsely says he is off, you're not the first and it happens to all Anti Virus software brands.

• .exe files are not open; affected by the Windows Security Center of lazy virus

  Hello!

  As the title indicates, none of my executables will open his; on the contrary, when I click on an icon or similar function (as in the start menu), I'm inclined to the screen 'open with... ». I noticed that most often, if I run the program as administrator, it is likely to work without having to manually find the file - still a bit tedious however.

  I'm assuming that since I was recently hit by the virus which is a fake Windows Security Center, something my registry has also been hit (take into account the fact that I'm not savvy computer in the slightest). It happened on my user account initial and rather than take action on the right, then, I decided that I would use the other account that I had to install a program better anti-virus (Norton provided ISP) than the one I had been using (the two admin). At that point, I had finished all my activity moved to the new account and it worked very well until the virus had one possessing this account as well - delete on the first user account seemed to have deleted only the effects of my account but still affected everything I did after that. This time, I went and deleted all accounts and checked to ensure that it is not at all. After getting rid of the virus, it's the same thing: none of my .exe files will open without using the monitor "open with...". ». I'm not really sure what action to take from here, I have not done much to remedy the situation, and I'm going right through the screen of "open with...". "to get to what whatever - so any suggestions or help would be very appreciated.

  Keypoints:

  • .exe files are not open (However, in some cases, the "Run as Administrator" option overrides it)
  • recently hit with (deleted) and fake Windows Security Center virus ; That's when the .exe is no longer
  • is not much in terms of addressing this problem, do not know what to do with regard to the question of if my situation calls for something specific

  I tried to cover everything that seemed important to address; However, if there is more need information, let me know. I am about average in terms of computer navigation and therefore my understanding of what many of these commands, functions and files is a bit Basic.

  Thank you! :)

  Thanks for the very comprehensive post. Run the Doug Knox fix (that isn't a .exe that you can do this).

• Security Center pop-up window

  Why the pop-up advising me that the Security Center States that my computer is at risk. When I go into the centre, he says that everything is normal and that the computer is operating normally.

  Hi macallan.

  The message appears and I after a few moments and then disappear, and everything goes back to normal?

  Security Center covers areas such as antivirus, firewall protection, etc.. I saw this happen if the PC has installed Microsoft Security Essentials. To initiate an indicator appears in the user informed notification area that the machine is at risk. Then, after 10 or 15 seconds (or almost) the notification action Security Center indicates that "no news not detected."

  In the case of Microsoft Security Essentials, the firewall is usually the cause of the problem. For some reason it isn't the firewall as quickly as well Security Center, so throwing an error message. After a few seconds the firwalls launches and everything works as it should do.

  If you do not use the Microsoft Security Essentials, then it maybe your anti-virus or something similar is a little slow to start and safety Center flags immediatelty question. As long as the error can be corrected in a few seconds, then everything should be fine. You don't say that when you click on the Security Center icon it say is that your PC works normally. That's all just a 'time' that is causing the problem.
