I sturggled with this problem after uninstalling Norton with their tools, it still shows up as the enabled firewall and AV in the Security Center (at least with Vista 64).
I got this fix from MS support and it works:
1. Run remove from from the "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel.
2. Download from Symantec and run "Norton_Removal_Tool.exe," being sure to
get the one for your OS, Vista 64 in this case.
3. Reboot and remove the Symantec directories from the "Users" and "Program
Files" folders under C:\ Search for them.
4. This is the part that gets Norton out of "Security Services."
a. Start "Services".
b. Locate "Windows Management Instrumentation"
c. Right click and "Pause" that service.
d. Go to C:\Windows\System32\wbem\
e. In that folder, find a folder called "Repository".
f. Delete the entire folder "Repository".
g. Go back to "Services," (steps a. and b. above)
h. Right click on it and choose "Resume."
i. Close everthing and Reboot.
This is a fix for Norton in Security Center after uninstall
