Microsoft Antimalware Service Controler error

Hello experts,

The problem came in as I was setting up a new desktop tower I had ordered for her. I began to clean out some of the preinstalled junk , setting up some favorites, and transferring some of my favorite tools so I could remote assist with the Windows 7 easy connect .

After uninstalling the preinstalled 60 day Trial of Norton (what ever version it was) and then installing the Microsoft Security Essentials , I decided to try my service controller application to make sure it still worked. It failed with an error of “Can not open MsMpSvc service on Computer “.”. Ok, so what does that mean ? I had to add the inner exception message as a return message and got “Access is Denied”. Tell me the solution to fix this issue.

Thanks.
