I just ran a check with Spybot and it came up with the following problem: Windows Security Center.AntiVirusOverride. I tried to get the details on a detailed report and it does not make any sense to me--I am not good at decyperhing reports. Both AdAware and Microsoft Antispyware came up negative on this. What is Spybot trying to tell me?
