If you have questions concerning detections in the future, please post a log of the actual detections you are getting. To do that:

• Run a scan.
• When the scan completes, right click on the results list, select "Copy results to clipboard".
• Then paste (Ctrl+V) those results into the forum thread.

For these detections:

• Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallOverride: Settings
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallOverride!=dword:0
• Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.AntiVirusOverride: Settings
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusOverride!=dword:0

I suggest that you go into Start > Control Panel > Security Center > look at the right hand side of the window and check the settings under "Firewall" and "Virus Protection" (expanding if necessary). I believe that you have overridden the protections and that you will find a button labeled "Recommendations". If you click on the "Recommendations" button I believe that you will get a window that indicates something like:

• I have a firewall that I'll monitor myself.

and

• I have an antivirus program that I'll monitor myself.

Note: with these setting Windows won't monitor your firewall and virus protection status and won't send you alerts if they are off or out of date.

For these detections:

• Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallDisableNotify: Settings
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify!=dword:0
• Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.UpdateDisableNotify: Settings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\UpdatesDisableNotify!=dword:0
• Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.AntiVirusDisableNotify: Settings
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusDisableNotify!=dword:0

Go into Start > Control Panel > Security Center > Resources (on the left hand side of the window – expand if necessary) > click "Change the way Security Center alerts me". This brings up an "Alert Setting" window.

There are three possible alerts:

• Firewall
  Alert me if my computer might be at risk because of my firewall settings
• Automatic Updates
  Alert me if my computer might be at risk because of my Automatic Updates settings
• Virus Protection
  Alert me if my computer might be at risk because of my virus protection software settings

I think that you will find that they are all turned off. With these alerts turned off you will not receive alerts from Windows.
