As you can see in the picture, Microsoft has tried to override both my firewall and anti-virus. uggh, it wouldn't be

 

bad if they'd just give up instead of trying to change my defaults through their updates, which have also *drum roll*

 

crashed my computer at least twice.

I don't think that's the case...I think this occurs until you tell the Microsoft Security Center to "quit complaining about my security". That's why it appears for firewalls and AV.

 

 

 

It's benign, nothing major to worry about.

I posted this to see if anyone else's anti-spyware had captured the same phenomenon. At first, when I saw that

 

Spybot had actually found something for a change, which sort of made me happy that I had been infected(because

 

I do go out of my way to get such things to happen), but nope it was just a small update by microsoft that attempted

 

to switch my default anti-virus and firewall.

 

 

 

Like Makoto said, although it is a rather annoying thing, it is nothing major to worry about.

 

 

 

Security center hasn't mentioned anything for months about security weaknesses so that is why

 

it raised an eyebrow.

Anyway, I think you could do what I do --> I go to services.msc and disable the security center, anyways, it doesn't have any use to me.
