From the FAQ section-Why does Spybot-S&D flag changes in the Windows Security Center?:
"This is neither a false positive nor a bug. It is just an information about a potential threat - Spybot-S&D only wants to bring to your attention that someone or something disabled one or more notifications in the Windows Security Center, e.g. the notifications that your virus protection is not active or not up-to-date. If you changed the settings yourself you can safely tell Spybot-S&D to exclude those detections from further scans. In order to do so, please right-click each in turn, then click Exclude this detection from further searches. That way, should any other part of security center settings change, Spybot-S&D will still detect those. The same is true if you have another security solution installed (like McAfee Security Center or Norton Internet Security). These programs disable announcements of Window Security Center in order to signal things by themselves."
-I have 3 questions
1. I have Norton Antivirus 2007 so does this include Norton Antivirus 2007 or just Norton Internet Security?
2. I looked at my Windows Securtiy Center and it says "The Security Center is currently unavailable because the Security Center has not started or has been stoped." Would Norton Antivirus stop the Security Center or did some malware program stop it?
3. When Spybot-S&D detected these changes in the Windows Security Center, I may have accidently put them on "Exclude thisproductfrom further searches" instead of " Exclude this detection form further searches" so is this a problem?:oops:
