Well, the "Security Center" will only detect your firewall/antivirus if the program tells Windows that it's protecting your computer. (New API Microsoft did...

Is disable the "Security Center" service in the services.msc! Gasp! Easy. =) BTW. Uninstalling a service pack isn't 100% supported. It's recommended to wipe and reinstall. ~
