AntivirusDisabler

[the doomed]

brand new laptop from dell. online unprotected for 15mins before full win updates, AV & firewall protection. spybot found four problems. fixed okay. after restart and two of them were there again, also had same problem with mates pc other week.

two problems that keep reappearing are AntivirusDisabler and FirewallDisabler (or something similar, will reply when they appear again)

any ideas?

thanks mcafee is resetting them as link suggests. however when right clicking on problems in spybot it wont allow me to select the option to exclude them from future searches. -option is greyed out. any ideas?

After a scan with Spybot
    * Expand the detection if necessary (+ to the left of the detection).
    * Select the item (entry) that you want to exclude by left clicking on it to highlight it.
    * Then right click on highlighted detection.
    * Select from the list of options in the menu.

If you would like to do it this way
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Ignore products > Security tab and check the items there.
Make sure you are checking the correct items, don't check all of them
You can drag the PRODUCT section to ensure you see the full path
