Spybot First Time

[Dannie]

New PC and d/ld Spybot and ran it. Got couple of cookies which I let delete
BUT also got 4 messages ie "Microsoft Windows Security Center. Anti Virus
Disable Notify", "Microsoft Windows Security Center. Firewall Disable
Notify", "Microsoft Windows Security Center_disabled", and Wild Tangent.

I didn't do anything about them since I wasn't sure about the Wild Tangent
and the Microsoft ones I attributed to my Norton Internet Security which
came with PC.

Does anyone have any ideas as to these mesages etc?
TIA

I agree with you about Norton. To me it's pretty much a pain in the
butt and a resource hog at that. Why does that sound familiar?
