discovery of false positive detection
Hello all,
I am writing to tell you that i have found a false-positive issue in spybot search and destroy. It seems that if you have an antivirus installed (mine is mcafee security center, not sure if your does it too) but what it detects is registry line that disables the windows firewall and antivirus as after I have run the cleaning for it in safe mode mcafee just prompted me about being the default security center and i said yes which reloaded the registry line that disables the windows securities. If you see this alert PLEASE DISREGARD IT as it is a safe false positive detection caused by your antivirus applications.
