Solution:

1. Restart windows in safe mode.

2. Delete all files in the folder C:\WINDOWS by selecting the files and

then holding down the shift key while you press delete. (It may give you

an error message, just keep clicking continue).

Thread is over a year old. Find something more recent to post to.

The simpler solution is just to disable and enable the Security Center

service in Windows Vista:

1. Run services.msc or in Control Panel click on the Services icon in

Adminstrative Tools

2. In the list of Services, Right Click on Security Center > Properties

and select Disabled

3. Reboot your Computer

4. Run services.msc or in Control Panel click on the Services icon in

Adminstrative Tools

5. In the list of Services, Right Click on Security Center > Properties

and select Automatic (Delayed Start)

6. Start the Service.

 

Your antivirus software should now be recognized by wscsvc
