In the control panel of a PC I do not find any security icon. Usually you
have 10 icons in the category view, I find just nine in that PC.

I tried to restore it using the seccentericons utility (see
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/seccentericons.htm site) but it did not work.

Any suggestion? Can I run an executable from Start | Run of Windows instead
of the security icon?
Thank you

Do you have Service Pack 2? You will only get the Security Icon with Service
Pack 2.

Make sure the computer is completely malware/virus-free:
