Here's my story:
I noticed an error in my Event View that the security center failed to start.
I searched here for info on the situation - which led me to site that did a
registry change to restore the security center service.
Interestingly, that change caused the error to stop showing up in event
viewer but I can see that the service is not started (yes, it is set to
automatic).
When I try to start it manually I get the message: "Could not start the
security center service on the local computer. Error 123: The filename,
directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
The path to the service is: \SystemRoot\C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k
netsvcs.
scvhost.exe is, indeed, in the identified path.
Does anyone have insight into my situation?
As far as I know it is doing me no harm - but the computer is not behaving
well (odd behavior, sometimes trouble connecting to network, sometimes
horribly slow on internet, better after recycle but then returns) - so I'm
trying to get a thorough understanding of everything that is happening on
this machine.
