If you use Mcafee or Symantecs protections then nothings
wrong its just saying this has been changed from default
but the two protection products above would change this
setting to prevent you getting warnings about having no
protection installed from Windows.
Spybot is simply reporting that the registry settings are
different from the expected defaults (which it has in its
database), which would be to set the security center
alerts on. The !=dword:0 part of the line means that the
data for the dword (e.g. DisableUpdateNotify) is not 0,
as it would be if the alert were enabled thats the ! part.
If you've changed the settings yourself or as a result of
using Mcafee or Symantec you can safely tell Spybot to
exclude those detections from further scans. In order to
do this right click on each in turn, then click "exclude
this detection from future searches".
The way to re-enable these settings and take away the
detection is goto start menu then to control panel and to
Security Centre . on the left you will see "Change the
way security centre alerts me" click this and then you
can place checks back in the Virus Protection or Firewall
area's which ever is being flagged in the scan and then
press ok
Hope this helps
