SP 2 Security Center
Posted by mnsportsfan on November 30th, 2005


Hi there....

after removing SP2 from my computer I noticed the Security Center still
existed. I had upgraded from SP1. I noticed several things were still left
running that were part of SP2. System restore doesn't go back far enough to
do any good and I used add remove programs to remove SP2. I also checked the
C: windows/uninstallsp2 folder as Microsoft suggested, and it was also
removed when i uninstalled SP2. So, I don't know where else to look to get
rid of the rest of the programs. Thanks for helping me remove the programs
associated with SP2.

TY Carey, but my OS is stable and I'd rather not go that route.

If your OS is stable, don't worry about the Security Center.
