Windows XP Security Center?

My Security Center is off. I click start, run, type services.msc, then ok. Double click Security Center, click automatic, apply, start and ok. I restart my computer. Still off! Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, you have some form of spyware or trojan that is turning it off on you.

Do a free online scan of your system here:

Then I suggest getting Windows Defender and scanning your system again.

update and run your antivirus and anti spyware programs.

if this still doesnt do the job you may be looking at a reinstall so prepare for a backup.

this is because services are near impossible to repair if its not spyware or malware causing the problem
