Windows.Security.InternetExplorer Bug

[ImperialHammer]

Judging from what I've read, this may be nothing, but I tried what other sites have posted (restoring IE to its default settings), I figure I might as well toss this over to you fine peoples...

The story is that my Spybot S&D flagged "Windows.Security.InternetExplorer", and it won't go away when fixed....

Welcome ImperialHammer
Please see >

Does that answer your questions ?

[ImperialHammer]

Hey Lonny, thanks for your help...

It sort of does, but not really...

As far as I know, I haven't tweaked anything to Windows Security Center...

I run Sophos as my antivirus program, and I know it does alot of stuff automatically, so it might have done something itself...

Also, this has just recently been flagged within the last few months. If the change was done in 2005, as the article suggests, this would be a different thing...

Any insight?

I would set SpyBot to ignore that item
I havent had Sophos installed in a long time but think it has something to do with it.
Your java should be updated
Sun Java "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 8" is Available:

Afterwards it's important to uninstall the old version's via addremove programs.
