Re: Windows Security Center damaged

What you are seeing is almost certainly a malware app. Have you followed
through and actually downloaded anything?

See the Security link in my sig, and also http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm

I use Norton Internet Security 2007 and NoAdware 4.0. My system is (I
think)
clean. However, I did have a problem with the nagging security center
pop-ups until I had everything cleaned up. The pop-up is gone, but
probably
only because the malware tha caused it is now gone. The pop-up said my
computer was infected and I should click here to install software to clean
it. When I open Security Center to change the way it notifies me, that
option is disabled.

How do I gain full control of WSC again (i.e. get this option enabled
again)?

Do I need to uninstall and reinstall SP2?

Thanks in advance.
