I am trying to fix a Windows 7 machine here that has been infected with all kinds of Malware. I have removed all of them as far as I can see but I am stumped by one last task.
One little bugger managed to remove the Windows Security Center service from the list of Windows services. So I cannot start it or set to automatically start. At the moment I cannot get the Windows firewall to turn on or any anti-virus software.
The security center shows this when I try:
Does anyone know how to add this back to the list of services so I may set it to start. I don’t have a backup of the registry for this computer (it’s not mine).
Many thanks

You can never really be sure that you have removed all malware infections from a machine. There could be a myriad of registry keys/services that have been messed with.
My advise would be wipe it and reinstall Windows. This will undoubtedly fix your issues and you can then be sure you have removed the malware.
