Windows Security Center - error 1079

[jhmagic1]

I have done the above and here is the log

 

[Jacee]

that looks so much better

Can you install all the Windows updates that are specifically for your OS now?
Is Security Center working/turned on?

 

[jhmagic1]

That last update still wont download - Its Microsoft Silverlight

Security center still wont turn on.

 

[jhmagic1]

Although the message about XActive has gone

 

[Jacee]

I wouldn't worry about about Silverlight.

Download Security Check by screen317 from
http://screen317.spywareinfoforum.org/SecurityCheck.exe
or http://screen317.changelog.fr/SecurityCheck.exe
Save it to your Desktop.
Right click to run as Administrator, click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

here are the results.

i did Start->Run,then type Services.msc and enter. Security Center service right-click it,select Automatic and select Start.

Automatic stayed on with no error message but about 20 seconds later it goes back to disabled.

Did you install McAfee? If you didn't pay for it and are not using it, totally uninstall it! Apparently it's causing the problem with Security Center.
Follow the instructions here to totally uninstall it PC Hell: How to Uninstall McAfee

You also need to update Adobe Reader 9.0.1
Out of date Adobe Reader installed!

 

[jhmagic1]

I have uninstalled Mcafee and installed new adobe reader.

Still no luck turning on windows security center

 

[Jacee]

Reboot

 

[jhmagic1]

Yep rebooted, still no joy. Still getting the message - windows security center cant be started

 

[Jacee]

See this The windows security center service can't be started.

 

[jhmagic1]

Still no joy

Can you create a new admin account and then log in using the new account,

Is the security center active now

 

[jhmagic1]

security center still isnt active. I created a new admin account and tried to log in with it, but it just stays on the welcome screen

Let's try one more thing ....
Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your desktop.<--Important
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

Click on this link Here to see a list of programs that should be disabled.
The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
If your anti-virus or firewall complains, please allow this script to run as it is not malicious.
Next: Disconnect from the internet. If you are on Cable or DSL, unplug your computer from the modem.
Next: Please disable all onboard security programs (all running with back ground protection) as it may hinder the scanner from working.
This includes Antivirus, Firewall, and any Spyware scanners that run in the background.

• Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
• When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall
Please be patient while the scan runs, at times it may appear to stall.
When finished and after reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it should open a log, combofix.txt.
After rebooting ensure your Security applications have been re-enabled.

In your next reply post:

Something has become corrupt along the way .. Open an elevated command prompt by right clicking on it and run as Administrator copy and paste sfc /scannow press enter. Tell me if that did anything.

If not, I'm going to suggest either a repair install or a 'clean' install.

Edit to my above post Upload this file c:\windows\system32\wecsvco.dll to
VirSCAN.org - Free Multi-Engine Online Virus Scanner v1.02, Supports 36 AntiVirus Engines!, have it scanned, save the results and post them back here.

You may have to unhide hidden files and folders to find it.

 

[jhmagic1]

after the scan here wecsvc.dll MD5:760f0afe937a77cff27153206534f275 - VirSCAN.org Scanners did not find malware! it says no malware found
