Microsoft Security Center AntiVirus Override HELP!

[Mynna]

I checked my security center and it says that my antivirus is on, but I keep getting this: http://i44.tinypic.com/21j9g8p.jpg as a scan. Is it safe to ignore? What on earth is happening?

Hi Mynna,

welcome to Safer Networking Forums.

Which Anti-Virus tool and which Firewall do you use? Are both up to date?

If you use McAffee or Norton Internet Security:
Both security tools can de-activate messages from the Windows Security Center, to take care theirselves.

Spybot reported this problem to you because there also exists Malware which de-activates the Windows Security Center. Why? Because you should not notice if your security tools are out of date or de-activated.

Best regards,
