I see lots of recommendations here for programs like - Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php SuperAntispyware http://superantispyware.com/ What is going on in your Event Viewer? When looking at the Event Viewer, make sure you are an Administrator. Better troubleshooting capabilities with Windows Vista's Event Viewer http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6108150.html Are the dependencies for the Security Center Service having any problems? Windows Management Instrumentation is one such Service that can cause problems like yours. See what this says about a corrupted WMI repository Repairing and re-registering the WMI http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm Upvote 0 Downvote
