Please see attached screenshots (a picture is worth a thousand words). The past few weeks are so I have noticed that S&D has been flagging me this message you see down below. It is suggesting that my firewall has been disabled. I'm running Windows Live OneCare (Firewall + AntiVirus). Please let me know if there is a problem or if this is a bug with S&D. Is there a workaround? Is this going to addressed in future releases?
Thanks
Because of size restrictions I couldnt attach my screenshots. I had to reduce the file size. Here it is.Quote:

"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000000
"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000000
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000000
Note: To post a log of the actual detections you are getting rather than a picture (that in this case is not worth a thousand words):
- After running a scan, right click on the results list then select "Copy results to clipboard".
- Paste those results into the thread.

The note concerning the log was for future reference.
I did misstate the registry entries associated with the Windows Security Center settings you showed. They are:
Code:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000000
"FirewallOverride"=dword:00000000
I don't think I understand what is being said :scratch:Quote:

Thanks very much.
The fact that Windows Security Center is monitoring your firewall (green indicator in Windows Security Center for Firewall) has nothing to do with the two detections that you received.
The two detections you received indicate that group policy statements in your system are set so that the Windows Firewall is not enabled (off) as outlined in the following:
Since you are running Windows Live OneCare's Firewall this is an acceptable situation and you can ignore the detections.
These are not false positives. They indicate unusual settings in your system.

I told Spybot S&D to ignore this message since Windows One Care has it's own Firewall and automatically disables the built-in Windows XP Firewall.
