Windows Security Center F/P?

[jc836]

Both our HP Laptop (XP Home) and our Desktop (XP Pro) are fully updated with SP3 and the latest downloads from MBAM.

On 3/22 Malrewarebytes found 3 Security Center Registry entries that it says are " Bad" The effect of allowing MBAM to remove them is to change the settings for the XP Firewall to ON. I must note that the only AV I have is Norton Corporate v8.1 and it finds nothing. For that matter Spybot and A-squared find no malicious activity. These machines are used in an environment where they are not prone to attack.

Could this be caused by an update that Microsoft has issued that interferes with MBAM? The problem only surfaced after the MBAM update on 3/22. I have taken the 3 items and placed them in the Ignore list for the time being.

Suggestions and guidance are most welcome.

Please have a look at this thread: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=12624

I know it's long, but most of the answers you'll need should be within the first few posts.

Thanks for your link to the other thread. It indeed is parallel to what I am seeing. So, I assume that Ignore is an acceptable option considering that I altered the Security Center settings to begin with.
