PUM.Disabled.SecurityCenter?

[Cindyl10]

I kept getting notices that normal things like when I'd open a folder or when I'd try to delete a graphic or photo, saying that the program was causing a buffer overflow; then all of a sudden aftter that, my start button and the task bar disappeared. So I restarted the computer and ran malware bytes. I have McAfee Antivirus Plus that I run all the time, but use malware bytes when I run into problems. For the first time after doing a full scan, it turned up something I wasn't sure i should tell it to delete and I wanted to check with you guys.

PUM.Disabled.SecurityCenter - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center|AntiVirusDisableNotify

PUM.Disabled.SecurityCenter - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center|FirewallDisableNotify

I don't want to disable or cause problems with my McAfee scanner if that's what this is, but if it's a virus or something I want to get rid of it, not sure what to do, can someone help me?

Here's the log from the scan:

These are were those settings are:

Open up the Security Center in your control panel:

Click on: (located under resources)

Change the way Security Center alerts me

I would just put them in MB ignore list

Just put a check next to them and click the Ignore button:
