Windows Security Center Blocked Out&no Internet


Recommended Posts

OK, using the internet, lifes good until, aprox 11AM today, stopped working.

Call my ISP twice, lines fine. Finally determine it's a problem between modem and computer.

Go to to Windows Security Center, message at the top boiled down to, Security Center Service wasn't started, Reboot

Did that, 3 times. Same problem, click the Firewall Button, that service is stopped to. It starts it, I can see the settings but it's greyed out stuck to Off.

I ran every scanner I have, SB, Avast, AdAware, as recent as I had them, still nothing.

Update everything I can by dowlnoading the packages and manual install, I find these with Spybot

Windows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify

Windows Security Center.AntiVirusOverride

Windows Security Center.FirewallDisableNotify

Windows Security Center.FirewallOverride

Windows Security Center.SP2Update

WIndows Security Center.UpdateDisableNotify

Fixed them, nothing. Reboot, rescan came up again.

I need help with this please, thanks in advance.

Did you have a box pop up on your screen while on-line? There is a virus going around that attacks mostly Windows 2000 machines. Are you running that? HAve you tried running your anti virus program and update it?

Safe Mode helps because then you don't have as many programs running; viruses/spyware/malware remove "better" in Safe Mode because of that.

About Scandisk, in XP, at the command line, I believe this:

chkdsk -f will let you schedule scandisk/chkdsk to run at the next start-up.
