The same is true if you have another security solution installed (like McAfee Security Center or Norton Internet Security). These programs do also disable the Windows Security Center in order to take care of things themselves.
The reason why the changes are flagged by Spybot-S&D is that there are also malware programs that disable the notifications so the user doesn't take note of his security tools not being effective.
So, what should I do if I get this notification, but I didn't change the settings myself (at least knowingly)? Should I 'fix the problem' or so something else to allow it? Oh, by the way, I'm using Windows Firewall and avast!4 Home Antivirus.
