Hi,

OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. I am unable to start the Security Center. I have tried changing the setting from disabled to automatic in safe mode, but when I revert to normal mode it is again disabled. Also I cannot start my anti-virus (Microsoft security Essentials.
I have (in both normal and safe mode) run Rkill followed by MBAW and Superantispyware, and I updated them both beforehand. Although infections were found and removed the problems still persist.
I've also run anti-rootkit software which again found problems and fixed them without fixing the overall issue. I cannot do a system restore because when I try I am told system protection is switched off, although when I go into it is is actually on.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?

I was able to resolve this myself, I ran Stopzilla which found 2 problems the others had missed, then I ran combofix. Everything seems fine again now.
