A startup item isn't in quotes as it should be. The registry \Run entry
probably reads:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe -hide

... but the space after the word Microsoft confuses the path to the command.

Run regedit, press F3 to search for the value "msseces.exe -hide" and
modify the line to read:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe" -hide

You can copy/paste the above line so you won't mis-type.
