I had Norton2007 and the security center was running absulutly fine

simultaneously, as the firewall and the antivirus of norton is shown

under ' window security center' but after i installed McAfee the problem

started, the Window security center cant be started as the job is done

by McAfee Security center. I uninstalled the McAfee antivirus but

couldnt able to unistall the 'McAfee Security Center' and the 'Windows

security center is not starting up.

A help would be appreciated,

Vista is bad too.... beautiful graphics but lacks standard in task.

Do you have a System Restore point from a time before you installed McAfee?

You might even find McAfee created one for you.

Click the Start button and type 'system restore' (without the quotes),

followed by Enter. If Windows throws up a security message, click the

Continue button. After a few seconds System Restore should appear. If the

date of the suggested restore point is before you installed McAfee, click

Next, and on the next page click Finish. If the suggested restore point is

after you installed McAfee, select "Choose a different restore point" before

clicking Next. This will give you a list of recent restore points. If they

don't go far back enough, tick the box that says "Show restore points older

than 5 days". If you can find one that says "Installed McAfee" or something

similar, pick that, otherwise pick one that occurs immediately before you

installed it (or as close as you can). Click Next and follow the

instructions. Windows will reboot and restore your system to the time

selected. You will not lose any files in the process, but any software

you've installed since that time will have to be installed again.

Go to McAfee's site, and get their Removal Tool to remove the remains of

their Program!

Just a Question did you remove Norton properly prior to installation of

mcafee? Anyhow a direct support group for your concern is available if

you're in the US/CANADA

try calling up a free support group 866 727 2338 ( Microsoft PCSafety )

Once installed, Norton A/V, MacAfee as well as Symantec A/V are extremely

difficult to remove. They are apparently imbedded in the registry, hidden

deeply on several levels. As mentioned by several responders, go to the web

site and see if they offer an uninstall or cleaner file. Alternatively, use

your backup to restore the system to a configuration prior to the A/V

installation.

Check on the internet for cases where others have, post apocalyptically,

found them selves in similar circumstances when desiring or are forced to

remove These invasive security program. As you found out, they tend to leave

behind "bread crumbs' which prevent Defender or Microsoft security programs

from starting, even after they are removed.

thanks all.

I cant do system restore as restore is not available beyong ten restore

points.

I consulted with the macafee, but i am not satisfied with their

solution. My problem is still there. cant start windows security center

and cant put on the windows firewall. windows firewall options are

unavailable and says " For security reason, some settings are control by

group policy." I dont know how to check the group policy and am not in

any domain.

Did you check the box that will go further back than five days?
