Security Center file corruption?
Security center just looks really funny. No idea what happened to it.

I don't when this started so I have not done a system restore yet.

Are you using a Admin or Standard account?

Hi.. .

Your screen shot says that there are 32 OPTIONAL updates available. Your Windows Updates settings appear to be on manual - why not turn them on automatic and allow the optional updates to download and install if that is what you wish?

You can view the optional updates to see what they are and decide if you want them.

Why do you believe that the screen shot does not appear to be correct?

Regards. . .

I'm using an Admin account. Those extra updates are all language packs. It just bugs me how security center is colored differently. I know it wasn't like that before. Windows Defender told me it found a backdoor trojan last night so that might be the cause. I've ran NOD32, ccleaner and spybot so far.

And before that screenshot was taken. I was getting an 800747 or something like that in windows update. I fixed that already though.

Are any of your other screens colored differently?
