Original link >> http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=35253
  • The actual Windows Security Center control panel extension uses C:\Windows\System32\wscui.cpl
  • The "XP Security Center" malware's control panel extension uses C:\Windows\System32\_scui.cpl (at least on this system)

You can simply delete the C:\Windows\System32\_scui.cpl but that will then remove the Windows Security Center from your Control Panel. To restore you Windows Security Center icon to the Control Panel you need to use use the registry editor and locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load. In there you should see and entry for wscui.cpl; and you will need to delete it. After deleting the entry restart the computer and it should be back to normal.

If it is still not working go to Start > Run > type sevices.msc and press enter.
Look through the list and verify that the "Secuity Center" service is started and it is set to "Automatic".


After Windows Security Center is working again you will want to open it and check the settings using the link on left named "Change the way Security Center alerts me" and verify that all the boxes are checked for Windows Security Center to monitor.
