Hi Iridium183 :
Having potential problems with SP2's "Security Center" is
the main reason I avoid "upgrading" from SP1; perhaps
the info from the following Microsoft site may help :

Hello there!
I had the same problems. I uninstalled Avast completely, run CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com) and reinstalled avast. Now everything is working without a problem.
This time I installed Avast in the standard path. Last time it was a path defined by myself. Don’t know if that has been the problem, will try that tomorrow.
