I am using Spybot-Search & Destroy v 1.4 and every time I run a scan it
keeps detecting a problem called "Microsoft
WindowsSecurityCenter.Firewall Disable".
Expanding that entry there are two Registry setting sublistings as
follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\windowsfirewall\standardpr
ofile\enablefirewall!=dword:1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\windowsfirewall\domainpro
file\enablefirewall!=dword:1
I don't know what this all means and I do not want to fool with the
Registry. I always click on "Fix the problem", but it comes back on the
next scan.
It doesn't appear that my MS firewall has been disabled., but I am
confused by the statement near the end "enabledfirewall". Does that mean
that the firewall was disabled and somehow Microsoft enabled it?
Should I be concerned since I also run Zone Alarm?
I am totally confused by this whole thing.
I am running XP-sp2.
All help will be appreciated, as always.
