Hello,

Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4 is detecting Windows Security Center associated with Microsoft Security Center Registry changes. This is neither a false positive nor a bug. It is just an information.
Spybot-S&D only wants to bring to your attention that "someone" disabled one or more notifications in the Windows Security Center, e.g. the notifications that your virus protection is not active or not up-to-date. If you changed the settings yourself you can safely tell Spybot-S&D to exclude those detections from further scans.
In order to do so please right-click each in turn, then click "exclude this detection from future scans". That way, should any other part of security center settings change, Spybot-S&D will still detect those.
The same is true if you have another security solution installed (like McAfee Security Center or Norton Internet Security). These programs do also disable the Windows Security Center in order to take care of things themselves.
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.

Some more information is also available in our forum:

Can't exclude from future scans !

Hi,
I have tried to do as instructed and right click on it , the option to exclude from further scans is not highlighted ,so I can't do as instructed ,can anyone help !
 
If you want to exclude the item 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 from the list of options in the menu.
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.
