try this

   $.ajax({

               ...
                data: "{ 'name': 'user'}",
                ...
            });

I am getting this Invalid JSON primitive: name

Just return a straight string - the decorators will return it as json for you. The answer by @cranberies is leading you the wrong direction.

try this :

    [WebMethod]
    [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat=ResponseFormat.Json)]
    public string HelloWorld(string name) {
        return "{'message':'Hello World'}";
    }


    -----
    <script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
            function checkUser2(user) {
                var result;
                $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    async: false,
                    url: "WebService.asmx/HelloWorld",
                    dataType: "json",
                    data:{name:user},
                    success: function (data) {
                        result = data.message;
                    }
                });
                return result;
            }
            $("#check").click(function () {
                alert(checkUser2("test"));
            });
        });

                $.ajax({

                    type: "POST",
