I dont know what's going on, maybe my SP2 is different. When I open my
Security Center from the Control Panel, there is NO "recommendations,"
per se, on the opening screen. What there is is: Security Essentials,
under that is Firewall (which says on because it is probably reading the
Windows FW is off, but ZA's is on),Under that is Automatic Updates,
under that is Virus Protection, then Message Security Settings that
allow me to turn off Windows FW, but nothing related to the needed 3rd
party stuff. I must be missing something somewhere....
