i got a windows security alert that my security center isn't turned on
and when i try to turn it on then it says: The Security Center service can't
be started.
firewall, windows defender and windows update seem to be fine and all seem
to be working.
when i got the problem i scanned my computer with bitdefender and it found 2
viruses something like adware.casino and backdoor.rbit. bitdefender fixed the
viruses but now i still have the security centre problem. Please help!
Thanks in advance

You've got to learn to keep the nasties out. Now that you have been
compromised my only safe suggestion is to do a secure wipe and reinstall the
OS, not while connected to the internet either. Get Dban if you wan to do a
secure wipe.


You been using IRC?

Oh yea, wanted to say that security center is a service and can be
enabled/disabled by going to the services list. Just type services in the
search box and it will start. Scroll down to Security Center entry and make
sure it is set to auto-start. You can start it from there too by clicking in
the left pane on start.. If it still doesn't start then it has been buggered
up in the registry by the Trojan you had/have on your PC.
