Windows Security Center. AntiVirusDisableNotify?

[Oppressed]

Hello :o

I am not sure where to post this? I don't believe it is a False positive as this entry did not appear on a Spybot Scan completed on Jan 02 but showed up in scans done yesterday before the definitions update and again today afterwards.

I don't know if it is something to do with SpyAxe or not so I did not want to add it to my previous topic.

If it is please advise?

Also I am running Resident TeaTimer which I thought would notify me of registry changes?

Thanks,
O

p.s. Similar Windows Security Center.AntiVirus ''Able'' and ''Disable'' Notify (Registry change) results showed on my Mom's computer yesterday when I installed and ran Spybot on it.

I found a partial answer by doing a Google search which brought me back here to the Safer Networking Forums.

As indictated in the first link I did look at the Windows Security Center Alert Settings and I guess that the Spybot Fix Reset them to "On" position.

But since I KNOW I did not change them that means that what spybotsandra states in the second link "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." could be an appropriate conclusion to make?
