MicrosoftWindowsSecurityCenter.firewallOveride

Hi All,
After running SpyBot S&D it came up with MicrosoftWindowsSecurityCenter.firewallOveride
I have tried Google and Yahoo and can't find anything on it.
When i clicked on it in spybot it went to the registry editor and shows
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center
AntiVirusDisableN.....Reg_SZ
AntiVirusOveride REG_WORD
FirewallDisableNo... REG_WORD
FirewallOveride REG_WORD
FirstRunDisabled REG_WORD
UpdatesDisableN... REG_WORD
I use Z.A. free firewall and AVG free Antivirus. Which report no problems.

Could someone please fill me in on if this is one of those nasty little Malware problems. Or mabey due to this mornings updates from M.S.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Dan :confused

This is not problem! It is just a warning that Windows Securty Center is no longer set to the system defaults for the FirewallOverride key. This is possibly because you are using your own firewall and antivirus program for your security. Based on what you said, you probably have the FirewallOverride value set to 1. This means that Windows Security Center will not monitor whether your firewall is disabled or not. You can got to Windows Security Center (via Control Panel) and set however you want it to be set.
