SpyBot Warning

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

When I run spybot I get the following results.


Windows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify: Settings (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusDisableNotify!=dword:0

Windows Security Center.FirewallDisableNotify: Settings (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify!=dword:0

Since the registry is for microsoft\security center\antivirusdisable notify I am somewhat reluctant to quarantine or delete these entries.
Can anyone provide me some guidance on this. I'm running WIndows XP. I also have MS Antispyware installed. (I'm a belt and suspenders guy)
