Re: help with spybot/spyware

Those are settings for MS Security Center in SP2.
If I read those correcly, they are set to NOT notify you if the AV or
Firewall becomes disabled.
Theory is, you want them to notify you so you can get the firewall and AV
working ASAP!
I would guess that is why Spybot would tell you the settings are 'wrong'.
