If you do not use the Windows Firewall or ICS --

3/ Right-click & select properties -
4/ On General Screen set --> Startup Type: Manual -
5/ Click --> Stop <-- to stop the Service
6/ Verify Service Status: Stopped
SpyBot should be happy again.
If you are comfortable with editing the registry - you can make turn off the security center overide of your AV.
[std disclainer - register mis-edits can make system unuseable - get a registry backup!!!]
But dont blame me if you get it wrong. Only do this if your happy, working in registry.
-------------------------------------
This may help -- reset the Regisry setting for AV overide.
dword: 0= No; 1=Yes
Windows Security Center.AntiVirusOverride: Settings (Registry change, fixed)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusOverride!=dword:0
Windows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify: Settings (Registry change, fixed)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusDisableNotify!=dword:1
Windows Security Center.FirewallDisableNotify: Settings (Registry change, fixed)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify!=dword:0
Once reset & Spybot finds no other errors, immunise & you should be ok.
Again mate try the first fix, should sort you out.
