Windows Security Center is missing...
I have tried turning Windows Firewall on my Vista laptop and an alert pops up saying, "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings." Also in the Firewall menu, it says "Windows Firewall does not use recommended settings to help protect your computer". I clicked Update settings now that led to the alert "firewall Windows was unable to make the requested updates." I went to Windows Update and tried to turn on automatically find and install the updates did not work (don't remember what was now the error message). I downloaded a Microsoft Fixit Troubleshooter to try to fix the problem. Well, the problem appeared to be fixed, but when I went to install the updates that he found, all updates could not be installed. The error code was 80246008. I clicked on to get help with this errorand advises him to change the settings on the BITS service. Well, imagine my surprise when I found the BITS and Windows Security Center is missing in the registry of services.

If the virus has been quarantined, it is contained and will eventually be deleted from the system. However, it can still appear on scans. You can open the quarantine folder and select the file quarantined. A button Delete is enabled. You can then choose to remove the virus from your system completely.
Could you post a screenshot of the issue of security on your SkyDrive account Center? See instructions here:

Windows Security Center Service & Windows Update does not
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I have two problems.
- Windows Security Center service is turned off and will not turn on.
- Windows Update cannot check updates "because the service is not running.
I tried many patches that I found on the forums of Windows and nothing has worked. I have no virus and no malware on the system.
I appreciate all the new ideas! Thank you.
Symantec Endpoint Protection is installed and updated by our company server. Which covers the spyware.
For more assistance, contact your COMPUTER or SysAdmin.
PS: I think you'll find that Symantec Endpoint Protection is ineffective when it comes to detect & remove "spyware." Unlike Norton SOHO apps, MS does not include a component anti-spyware.

Removal of the false malware products of the windows Security Center
I use Vista Home Premium on my laptop and my AVG expired a few weeks ago. I went online and accidentally bought and installed a fake AV program, called Antivir solution Pro. I didn't know it was a bad program until I started getting all sorts of viruses and malicious messeges also everything I did and use. I tried to uninstall this thing with little success. I have downloaded and run STOPzilla and it found and removed 337 threats. I also downloaded AVG again. However, in the Security windows malware protection sectionoif, my protection antivirus says not compatible and shows that this "Antivir Solution Pro is still on but is its status as Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported". Defender scan shows pick up nothong. I tried to install AVG and it tells me to uninstall this program for optimal performance, but when I click on the button uninstall I can't find this Antivir anywhere in the list. I run the Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool now. What can I do if not find something?
I can not as up-to-date definitions for Defender. I tried to download them from the microsoft Web site, but I don't think it worked because I always get the message. Is this related?
