Microsoft Security

I was told about Spybot in another posting and it is great. My problem is
every time I scan the only thing that keeps coming up is (Microsoft Windows
Security Center-Disabled)
I have Windows Firewall on. Is there another thing that should be turned
on? If so, how is that done.
Any information is appreciated.

Do you have Anti-virus software and a firewall of some sort?

Spybot is neither, nice to run maybe but not AV or Firewall.

RE: Microsoft Security

When you run "Spybot search & Destroy", that comes up in the scan results:
Security Center disabled.

Read the results properly, and I think you will find that it has found that
to be Spyware infecting your computer.
It will have a tick in the box beside it???

If it does, delete it(Fix selected problems).
