I ran Spybot Search and Destroy after updating and imunizing my computer.

Here is all that it found. The reason these were disabled is probably
because I am running Norton Anti Virus also and it shut these tasks off.


Company:

Product: Microsoft.Windows.IEFirewallBypass

Threat: Security



Description

This is being flagged whenever the IE is configured to accept incoming
connections through the Windows Firewall. Normally the IE does not need to
accept incoming connections like servers do. This can be changed by malware
but also by online antivirus scanners or other software. If you do not use
the Windows Firewall or use online scanners frequently you may want to ignore
this.





Company: Microsoft

Product: Windows Security Center

Threat: Changed Security Center Settings

Company product URL:

_http://forums.net-integration.net/index.php?showtopic=32260_

Functionality

This entry only wants to bring to your attention that "someone" has disabled
one or more notifications in the Windows security center.

If you’ve changed the settings yourself you can safely tell Spybot to
exclude those detections from further searches. In order to do this please
right click on each in turn, then click "exclude this detection from future
searches". That way, should any other part of security center settings change
Spybot will still detect those. For more information please visit our forum
linked above.



"Windows Security Center.AntiVirusOverride" , if this is found, the Security
Center does not monitor the antivirus-protection



Company: Microsoft

Product: WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled

Threat: Security



Functionality

if the Windows Security Center is disabled this entry will be shown

Description

Malware can disable the Windows Security Center to make your System more
vulnerable.

If you have other security software suit installed, this may also deactivate
the Windows Security Center to avoid double warning messages.

I ran HIjackThis and I posted the log at
http://forums.techguy.org/showthread.php?t=605680 and I did not get any
satisfactory response.

Hi,
I think you make it difficult for yourself, by not following their advice
and I can see where it gone wrong?.
They told you to remove unwanted application but it is still in your
hijackthis log, first nobody will give analysis for the log file here as this
Windows XP Newsgroup not Hijackthis forums.

To your log, there is lots of crap you need to get rid off there, send you
log (recent one) to another forum and this time listen and follow the steps
for your own good.
It will be nice if you informed the techguy people that you will send your
log somewhere else, as they done a good job but unfortunately you didn't
follow the advice from them and I hope you will not do the same thing with
others!.
You need to think about what you want to keep and what you prepare to remove?.
There are lots of start up (unwanted startup programs) that can crawl any
system listed in your log.
Look in the Add/Remove programs and see what installed there, you will be
surprised to see lots of Pies residing there, installed by software you
trusted to be installed on your system?.
Windows defender should be removed in this stage of troubleshooting as it
can hinder the scan and the removal of things if it was run in real time
Protection mode, the spybot report is normal as Norton took care of your
security, it disabled the windows security centre to avoid conflict, so
spybot scan picked it up to alert you.
Finally, please don't take my words as critic to you but as advice.
HTH.
