whenever I switch on my computer, why does window security center shows that my computer is at risk ?

My windowdefender is turned off and security center does not recognises anti virus installled. Is my computer hacked ? Is my computer is at risk? I have installed mcafee virus scan. Is it enough or a new upgrade is needed? Why does it happen ?
Please suggest some solution.

How can I check if my computer security suite is working – I keep getting nothing whenever I run a scan?

I presently use Firefox exclusively as my browser, Sunbelt Personal Firewall (paid registered version) is always running, Webroot Spy Sweeper is my main anti-spyware with Ad-Aware as secondary backup, and AVG Free edition is my anti-virus. In addition to that, I always run CCleaner after every internet session. I’m running on a Windows 2000 professional OS. Now the thing is that I run a scan with Spy Sweeper and AVG about once a week, but not once in about a year have I gotten anything at the end of any of the scans but “congratulations! no spyware/virus found” at the end of the scans. So what I need to know is whether my security suite is really working that well, or could there be something that it might be overlooking.
Any knowledgeable opinions out there?
