Recently, Windows Security Center has been disabled on my computer and I can not determine the cause. I suspect some kind of malware, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this?
I have a machine running Windows 7. The only virus/malware proctection on my computer is Spybot Search and Destroy, as well as Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender. But a few days ago, while running spybot I recieved this message:
Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled: [SBI $2E20C9A9] Settings (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc\Start
Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled: [SBI $2E20C9A9] Settings (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc\Start
The registry was changed and disabled both Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials. I tried to re-enable these services by running services.msc. But as soon as I re-enable them, they are disabled again. I also tried using regedit.exe, with the same result.
Here is the results of my spybot search:
