When you installed McAfee, it gave you the option to use the McAfee
Security Center (or whatever they call it) instead of the XP SP2
Security Center. You said "yes" so McAfee disabled the XP Security
Center and you are using McAfee's. Spybot doesn't know that McAfee
disabled it, so it is just letting you know that the XP Security Center
is disabled.
Why does Spybot-S&D flag changes in the Windows SecurityCenter? -
