Topic: Spybot and Windows Security Center (Read 5453 times)

I was just running Spybot and it returned the Windows Security Center Firewall Override registry key as a problem entry.

Now, I let Spybot get rid of all the other spyware, but left this one alone, as I did set the Security Center to disable the Windows Firewall in Win XP SP2.

Should I have left this alone or should I have gone ahead and let Spybot do what it does to it?

I wouldn't worry since you know you set the security center to disable the XP firewall yourself. (not aware of any risks in leaving it be...)

Leave it be.

Like Snuffy Smith (no, not Stephen... though hey he kind of reminds me..., nah, that's another thread for another time) used to say:

"Thanky".
