General Computer Support / Re: Windows Security Service Center won't start Fix

Hi Boggin,
Thanks for replying.
Yes my apologies it had to be re-activated, I have known AVG to cause problems if left un-activated, also the customer had told me she then attempted to install AVG again without taking the old version off first, saying that though the computer was badly infected with malware. The Security Center wouldn't start after cleaning.
I will try the Eset Services Repair Tool to see if it will reinstate the service.
Thanks

Hi Shane,
Thanks for replying. I was working on a customers desktop pc and she had malware on it, so I ran ADWCLEANER, JRT and MALWAREBYTES and cleaned the machine. The red and white security shield from Microsoft popped up in the task tray and when I clicked on it, it said the Windows Security Service Centre can't be started. When I opened services the "automatic delayed start was greyed out and the services was stopped, with no option available to restart the Security Centre Service. She has Windows Vista 32 bit installed. I think its got to do with AVG free edition which the customer let expire. I'm not posting on the affected machine
Thanks

Dear Forums,
Is there a program within the brilliant "Windows Repair Program" from Tweaking Dot Com that can fix the "Windows Service Centre can't be started"
Thank you
