Default Security Center Not Working

I just uninstalled a early beta of Symantecs Genesis Norton 360 from my
Windows Vista Pre-RC1 build 5536 as it wasn't working properly. Now Windows
Vistas Security center isn't turning back on, obviously it was due to the
program disabling it. The error i get when I go into Windows Vistas Security
Center is it says "The Security Center service is turned off." I click the
"Turn on now" button and it gives me a pop-up window saying "The Security
Center can't be started.". I've only just installed so I have no system
restore points or anything. Can anyone give me advice how to re-enable it
maybe some registry fix or somthing ?. Much appreciated any help

Default Security Center Not Working

Go through the registry using the "Find" or "Find "Next" tool, search out
every reference to "Norton" and "Symantec" separately, and delete all of
them.

Or simply reformat the drive and reinstall Vista. This may actually take
less time, and since it is only a test computer, may be the best option.

Not only is Genesis 360 only for XP, it also specifically is not to be
installed in conjunction with any other Norton or Symantec software. This
was very clear in the release notes for the Beta testers.
