My windows security center will not start, it says "the security center is
currently unavailable because the Security Center service has not started or
was stopped. Please close this window, restart the computer (or start the
Security Center service) and then open the Security Center again.

I have tried this and it doesnt work. How can I switch it back on again?

Thanks in advance
 
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click Security Center |
Set to Automatic | Click Apply | Click the Start button |

Krit,

Did you get any error messages? Did you right-click the REG file and then
choose "Merge". You may try the procedure again from Safe mode.

I tried the below and got an error message. Should I try to reinstall Pack 2?
Is there anyway to get tech help from Windows without paying $200.?

Get rid of your Norton software. It stuffs up Security Centre. Make sure
you fully uninstall it - use their removal tool - and then get something
better.
