I had Norton2007 and the security center was running absulutly fine
simultaneously, as the firewall and the antivirus of norton is shown
under ' window security center' but after i installed McAfee the problem
started, the Window security center cant be started as the job is done
by McAfee Security center. I uninstalled the McAfee antivirus but
couldnt able to unistall the 'McAfee Security Center' and the 'Windows
security center is not starting up.
A help would be appreciated,

Do you have a System Restore point from a time before you installed McAfee?
You might even find McAfee created one for you.

Click the Start button and type 'system restore' (without the quotes),
followed by Enter. If Windows throws up a security message, click the
Continue button. After a few seconds System Restore should appear. If the
date of the suggested restore point is before you installed McAfee, click
Next, and on the next page click Finish. If the suggested restore point is
after you installed McAfee, select "Choose a different restore point" before
clicking Next. This will give you a list of recent restore points. If they
don't go far back enough, tick the box that says "Show restore points older
than 5 days". If you can find one that says "Installed McAfee" or something
similar, pick that, otherwise pick one that occurs immediately before you
installed it (or as close as you can). Click Next and follow the
instructions. Windows will reboot and restore your system to the time
selected. You will not lose any files in the process, but any software
you've installed since that time will have to be installed again.

Go to McAfee's site, and get their Removal Tool to remove the remains of
their Program!

Just a Question did you remove Norton properly prior to installation of
mcafee? Anyhow a direct support group for your concern is available if
you're in the US/CANADA
try calling up a free support group 866 727 2338 ( Microsoft PCSafety )

Once installed, Norton A/V, MacAfee as well as Symantec A/V are extremely
difficult to remove. They are apparently imbedded in the registry, hidden
deeply on several levels. As mentioned by several responders, go to the web
site and see if they offer an uninstall or cleaner file. Alternatively, use
your backup to restore the system to a configuration prior to the A/V
installation.

Check on the internet for cases where others have, post apocalyptically,
found them selves in similar circumstances when desiring or are forced to
remove These invasive security program. As you found out, they tend to leave
behind "bread crumbs' which prevent Defender or Microsoft security programs
from starting, even after they are removed.

thanks all.
I cant do system restore as restore is not available beyong ten restore
points.
I consulted with the macafee, but i am not satisfied with their
solution. My problem is still there. cant start windows security center
and cant put on the windows firewall. windows firewall options are
unavailable and says " For security reason, some settings are control by
group policy." I dont know how to check the group policy and am not in
any domain.

Did you check the box that will go further back than five days?
