To turn the Security Center on again, click Start > Control Panel > Select Security Center. When it opens, on the Resources tab, select Change the way Security Center alerts me. It will launch the Alert Settings dialog box. Tick the Firewall, Automatic Updates, Virus Protection check boxes and then click OK. Restart your computer and then see if it resolves your problem.
