    According to the message at the top of the window you are showing, the security center service is stopped.
    Go to control panel, administrative tools, services, double click Security center and put it on automatic.

    You'll need to start the Security Center service.

    You can do that by going to Start\Run and typing....services.msc /s....and then select Ok.

    The Antivir program was added to the Windows Security Center without any intervention on my part (other than the program install). Would it be automatically added by Windows?

    If the vendors provide the needed information, the Security Center will detect the applications.

    I believe the needed info is provided via a DLL file which will usually have the word 'wsc' as part of its filename. :)
