Hi muhsen, 1. When was the last time it was working fine?2. Have you made any recent changes on the computer? Method 1 I would suggest that you stop and start the Security center service on the computer. a) Click Start, click Run, type services.msc in the Open text box, and then click OK. b) In the Services (Local) list, right-click Security center, and then click Properties. Make sure that you stop and start the service, later check if the issue persists. Method 2There is a possibility that some third party programs installed on the computer is causing the issue. I would suggest that you perform clean boot and check.To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Refer the below link to know more about clean boot procedure.How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 Reset the computer to start as usualAfter you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:a) Click Start, type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.c) On the General tab, click the Normal Startup option, and then click OK.d) When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Restart.

hi Halima SThank you to your response,FirstI have Windows XP SP3secondI fallow your steps but still my problem …Muhsen

Please answer all of the following diagnostic questions by number in your very next reply (no need to quote this post):1. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?2. Has a(nother) Norton or a McAfee application ever been installed on this machine?3. Did a Norton free-trial or a McAfee free-trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it.)~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (IE, Mail, Security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ Disclaimer: MS MVPs neither represent nor work for Microsoft

Thank you for reply 1. I useBit Defender Antivirus RegisteredandLicensed copy2. I Haven'tanti-spyware applications3. I never Install a(nother) Norton or a McAfee application ever been installed on this machine. Muhsen

What you're seeing when you start your computer is known as a "race condition."In short, Windows Security Center is loading before Bitdefender fully-loads. As long as your Security Center icon eventually turns green within a few minutes, everything's OK.~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (IE, Mail, Security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ Disclaimer: MS MVPs neither represent nor work for Microsoft

Hi muhsen, 1. Do you receive any error message while starting Windows? I would suggest that you temporary disable the Bit defender antivirus software on the computer and restart computer, check if issue persists.Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks. Hope this helps!Halima S - Microsoft Support.Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

You say That Windows Security Center is loading before Bitdefender fully-loads. As long as your Security Center icon eventually turns green within a few minutes, everything's OK. But this think never happened before that time (about 2 weeks) !Muhsen

I Didn't receive any error message.And For your information When temporary disable the Bit defender antivirus software on the computer and restart computer, The same think happenedMuhsen

1. When (approx. date) did you first notice this behavior?2. When (approx. date) did you install Bitdefender Antivirus & when does your current subscription expire?3. What anti-virus application was installed BEFORE you installed Bitdefender Antivirus & was your subscription still current?4. Are you CERTAIN that a Norton or McAfee free-trial did not come preinstalled on your computer when you bought it? (Again, it doesn't matter if you never used it.)~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (IE, Mail, Security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ Disclaimer: MS MVPs neither represent nor work for Microsoft

1. Approx. date for first notice this behavior about 3 weeks ago .2. BitDefender Antivirus approx. date 19/7/2010 subscription expire 18/7/2011.3. No anti-virus application was installed BEFORE you installed Bitdefender Antivirus because this application installed After Format My machine.4. Before Formatting I was also use Bitdefender Antivirus 2009 but after using AVG Antivirus free - trial and I never use Norton or McAfee free-trial for this machine.Muhsen

I never use Norton or McAfee free-trial for this machine.Note that I did not ask if YOU had ever used (or installed) a Norton or McAfee free-trial, I asked if such a Norton or McAfee free-trial camepreinstalled on your computer when you bought it?If such were the case, the Norton or McAfee free-trial would have been reinstalled, but invalid, when you reinstalled Windows. If such is the case, you MUST uninstall the free-trial AND download/run a specific removal tool & reboot BEFORE you install any updates, Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE you install your new anti-virus application (e.g., BitDefender).~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (IE, Mail, Security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ Disclaimer: MS MVPs neither represent nor work for Microsoft

Hi Robea,Sorry for the way in the illustrationI know that there was no problem in using any product is free and my intention was not to confirm the presence of remnants of those programs in the machine.Anyway thank you respond, but so far did not understand the problem that I have ...RegardsMusen

When temporary disable the Bit defender antivirus software on the computer and restart computer, The same [thing happens]1a. Download the Norton Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe1b. Download the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe2. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the taskbar).3a. Double-click on the file you saved in #1a above to run the utility. Don't TOUCH your keyboard until the run completes, then reboot.3b. Double-click on the file you saved in #1b above to run the utility. Don't TOUCH your keyboard until the run completes, then reboot.4a. If IE7 or IE8 is installed, open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the Fix It.4b. If IE6 is installed, open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/895339 [ignore the title] & run the Fix It.5. Open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the Fix It in DEFAULT and then AGGRESSIVE modes. [1]6. Reboot again.7. Open Internet Explorer (only) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com | Select CUSTOM and scan | Install any Critical Security Updates offered (e.g., KB2360131; KB981852). If a Root Certificates update is listed (possibly in the Optional Software updates category on the left-hand side of the scan results window), install it to take full advantage of IE's enhanced security.NOTE: If IE8 is not already installed, do NOT install it! Just hide it ("Don't show me this update again") for now.8. Reboot & test: Does the behavior persist now?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[1] Full Disclosure: Running the Fix It in AGGRESSIVE mode will delete your Update History but not the list of installed updates in Add/Remove Programs.~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (IE, Mail, Security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ Disclaimer: MS MVPs neither represent nor work for Microsoft
