| 1319674 | 2012-12-22 03:39:00 | Windows security Center is turned off and the security center cannot be started, says a popup when the computer is booted. The operating system is Vista Ultimate. What do I need to do to fix the problem ? Merry Xmas to all :-) |

| 1319675 | 2012-12-22 04:38:00 | Do you have an antivirus installed? | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1319676 | 2012-12-22 04:43:00 | Possibly a completely incorrect assumption, but sounds like what happened to me when I got infected with Win32/Sirefef.gen!C recently. Does going to various security related sites redirect you to a similar looking fake page? |

| 1319678 | 2012-12-22 05:54:00 | www.microsoft.com From (my) memory, I reinstalled, MSSE, ran a scan, which identified a couple of things, used CCleaner to clear out temp stuff, ran an online scan of NOD32, which found stuff in a temp folder that CCleaner didn't.. Just wondering if this thread and pressf1.pcworld.co.nz are related. |

| 1319683 | 2012-12-22 10:11:00 | Ran NOD32/ ESET online scanner. 202753 files took 2 hours 23 minutes, but best of all, no infected files. So I guess back to square one, but I have a few follow up's to do yet! But its getting late, so tomorrow... |
