What does it mean if my computer says '; Microsoft.Windows Security Center.Antivirus Override.&q

I just ran a scan on it using spy bot search and destroy, and this and ''Black Core'' as well as Smitfraud-C toolbar. I clicked fix problems, and it did, but what do these things mean??

Some legit programs and many Malware programs will turn off or change the settings of Software Firewall programs like the Windows Firewall and others.



One of the other malware programs it found may be responsible for this.



Spybot S%26D is a great AS program. If you did not turn on the Tea Timer it is only an ''on demand'' program. It only scans and removes when you call upon it. If you turn on the Tea Timer it will provide ''full time'' protection as you use your computer. You need to go into the Advanced Mode and in the Settings find the Tea Timer option and check the box to activate it. Spybot will then notify you when a program is trying to change your firewall settings or turning it off and block it until you give approval.

I found a reference to what you saw.



You saw a spybot scan result with the above statement. Basically it means that one of the programs it caught was attempting to circumvent (over ride) MS security centers settings. Which means if spybot didn't catch it, you might have had a compromised system on your hands.



I recommend that you along with removing via spybot, download either avg or avast, both are free virus protection programs. You can go to trendmicro online for a free online scan of viruses %26 spyware + free removal, it's a great 2nd opinion. Use zone alarm firewall. %26 stop using MS products. MS can barely make an operating system that works, what makes them think they can handle virus,spyware %26 firewall protection....... I don't know.



All in all, it's a good thing spybot caught the program.
