| VISTA HOME PREMIUM X64/ 7 x64 / 7x86 | Re: unable to turn on security center What makes you sure you got rid of it? I would d/l , install, update and scan with MBam , free from here: Malwarebytes.org And also SuperAntispyware, free from here SUPERAntiSpyware.com - Downloads M$ MSRT is also available - thorough, but it takes a while also free from here : The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool helps remove specific, prevalent malicious software from computers that are running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 If you are prompted to download or scan with some other "spyware cleaner tool" - don't. Hope it helps SIW2 Last edited by SIW2; 02-03-2009 at 02:41 PM.. |

| Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 TECHNET | Re: unable to turn on security center SIW2 is right. That pop up warning you are getting at the bottom right of your screen is from some type of malware. Vista's security center doesn't say such a thing as that. |

| Vista home premium | Re: unable to turn on security center ok, I scanned with the ones you posted, and it actually did find one more trojan. I deleted it. I have Norman antivirus and Kaspersky It still doesn't work. I get the same message "The security center service can't be started". I no longer get that pop-up warning [URL=http://up111.arabsh.com/] [/ |

| Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 TECHNET | Re: unable to turn on security center You normally only want one major AV installed and actively monitoring. If you have two, they will most likely conflict with one another and can cause all sorts of problems. You can have a major AV and more than one antispyware program installed usually without problems. Some good and safe antispywares are Malwarebytes, Spybot SD, Superantispyware. Usually one major AV and maybe one or two antispyware programs is good enough. You should be careful of using rouge AS programs though. |
