After running Spybot Search & Destroy, it found the following 2 spyware programs on my computer, which has got me worried:
Windows Security Centre. Antivirus Disable Notify
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SECURITYCENTRE\AntivirusDisableNotify=dowod:0
Windows Security Centre. Firewall Disable Notify
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SECURITYCENTRE\FirewalldisableNotify!=0
I am a bit of a novice, and so i have no real idea what this problem is.
Could the "Disable Notify" mean that who ever wrote the program will be notified if i turn my firewall or antivirus off? Or could this program itself turn the antivirus and firewall off without me knowing about it?.
Of course with the mention of "MICROSORT SECURITY CENTRE" it could be just a "windows update" that been automatically downloaded and Spybot has mistaken it for trouble.
Any idea's
Regards
Woody
