Vista guard 2010
i was following the instructions at this link
http://www.spywareremove.com/removeVist ... n2010.html
under security center there is
monitoring and svc
monitoring i can delete but it'll come back all it holds is something called default which is a REG_SZ type file with no data value set
and svc holds another default
3 other files call Antispyware override, Antivirus override and firewall override all three files are REG_DWORD types and the values seem to be set to 0 (0x00000000 (0))

@B_B: There is a malware called the security center. It installs itself in the computer and then detects imaginary viruses and demands money to remove them. Very much a mess. I had that problem few months back in the computer of a client of mine. Even wrote a post on the whole thing ! There you go http://www.suck-o.com/modules.php?name= ... ght=#60629
Found another one in here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-r ... ritycenter

well, if Windows is blocking the removal of those registry entries you can still get Knoppix and edit the registry from Linux:
