Windows security centre/ spyware?

is it possible that spybot would detect ms security centre registry key as spyware?? see pic

 

Hi cloussau,

Spybot is simply warning you that the Security Centres Anti-Virus alert/notification is turned off (ie. the notifications that your virus protection is not active or not up-to-date), it isn't something to worry about. If you wish to leave it that way, right-click the entry and select "exclude this detection from future scans".

The reason why these 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. But in many cases Anti-virus software disables these entries (ie, Norton, McAfee) because they handle the alerts themselves.

HTH;

Steve
