There is no need to turn off Norton to run Spybot just to eliminate the "Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled" detection. You can exclude that detection from future scans.
There are two types of excludes:
- "Exclude this detection from further searches" a.k.a. "Exclude single".
- "Exclude this product from future scans".
Depending on the circumstances, it is usually better to do an "Exclude this detection …" rather than an "Exclude this product …" because if there are multiple detections in a product you are eliminating all of those detections rather than the particular detection causing a problem. However, in the case of "Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter…" detections they have been separated into individual "Products" to facilitate exclusion so that both "Exclude this detection …" and "Exclude this product …" are synonymous.
If you want to exclude the item that has been detected from future detections:
- Expand the detection if necessary (+ to the left of the detection).
- Select the item (entry) that you want to exclude by left clicking on it to highlight it.
- Then right click on highlighted detection.
- Select either of the following from the list of options in the menu.
- "Exclude this detection from further searches".
- "Exclude this product from future scans".
In other words left click to select then right click to display options. If you don't select (highlight) the item first the options menu is for the entire detection list.
Since the "Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter…" detections have been separated into individual "Products" to facilitate exclusion, you can exclude the detection before you run your next scan. Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Ignore products. Go into either the
All products or
Security.sbi tab and check the following detection:
- Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled
Note: If you can't see the full name of the product, expand the Product column of the screen by placing the cursor in the column title bar between the Product and Detail columns until the column separator move symbol appears (cross with arrow heads pointing left and right), press and hold the left mouse button and drag the column separator to the right.
