This is a problem related to the Fake Alert trojan virus. Some antivirus programs delete, quarantine, or modify windows system files when they get infected or are errouneously identified as a virus. When this happens, Windows services wont start properly because their files have been compromised.

For this particular problem, namely when the Network Location Awareness is corrupted, the solution is to reinstall Windows service packs. Follow these steps to reinstall/install the service packs for your operating system.

1. Identify which service packs are installed  (Windows XP: Right click My Computer->Properties. Vista or 7: Right click Computer->Properties)
2. Remove currently installed service packs (Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs) 
3. Reinstall the service packs ( Download the service packs for your operating system )

This problem can also be fixed, if only a few files have been deleted erroneously, by following the steps here.
