What are these detected problems?

[ChristophB]

I ran my spybot 1.3 and it found 3 problems. I'm not sure what they are or if they really are (or should be) problems.
They are:

Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.AntiVirusDisableNotify
|-> HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusDisableNotify!=dword:0

Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallDisableNotify
|-> HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify!=dword:0

Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled
|-> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc\Start!=W=2

Are those really problems? Should I let Spybot delete those registry entries?

thnx,
Christoph

Are you running Norton by any chance?

Yes, in fact, I am. Is that a bad thing?

No, not necessarily a bad thing (although when you install Norton the tell you to uninstall Spybot). I just needed to know in order to adequately respond to your query.

In regard to the detections you are getting, see if post #3 in the following thread helps:

Basically it's just telling you that Microsoft's Security Center has been disabled. That is because you are running Norton which disables it when it installs.

It should tell you that in the "details". You should see a little "arrow" to the right of the search results, click that and then click the "threat", and it will describe what that threat is.
