Any one know the reason for this or is it just a feature in SP2 ,it's not available in services and windows firewall is not listed either ,this happened to a friens comp ,he says after running Spybot s+d ,but I can't imagine spybot removing them ,I'm going to give him a copy of SP 2 later to see if that sloves the problem

TIA

security center is only a feature of XP SP2, Pre-SP2 windows afaik has the firewall, but its options are only accessible in the properties for network and dial-up connections

Correct, the SP2 update will give you the security center.
