I did a clean instal of Vista Ultimate, everyhting was running great. The
security center informend me I did not have antivirus software on my system
and suggested a few that were Vista compatible. I have used symantic
antivirus in the past so I picked up the latest norton antivirus 2007 and
installed it. It never worked, and I kept getting an error saying it could
not migrate virus definitions and vista was not compatible. So i unistalled
with Norton removal tool. During the instal of norton antivirus and
afterword, I have not been able to turn the windows security system on. When
I try, it just says "the secuirty Center cannot be started".
Any suggestions? |

I have the same issue on my computer too, although I installed Windows Live
OneCare. I have a firewall and antispam etc through that program so do I
still need my Windows firewall turned on too? Do I even need to use the
Security Center? I am confused about this issue.

Here's one that comes immediately to mind: change your moniker. Your
present one makes you look like the idiot that you probably are. >> Stay informed about: Security Center won't turn on |
