I did a scan after updating to the new 1.36 version and it found two "registry data" entries; FirewallDisableNotify and UpdatesDisableNotify. I haven't tried to remove them yet because I read at another forum that malwarebytes detects this if you manually changes this settings. Which I have.

I just wanted to confirm that this isn't dangerous and that I just can except them.

(Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, I think it fitts the general forum...)

I am only another user here, but I can answer this question for you.

Malwarebytes warns you if some security settings on your computer are disabled, because malware can cause this, or you could have disabled these things yourself.

• FirewallDisableNotify = tells you if Microsoft Security Center has been configured not to notify you if your firewall is disabled
  
• UpdatesDisbleNotify = tells you if Microsoft Security Center has been configured not to notify you if you disabled Automatic Updates for Windows

Many anti-spyware/malware programs will alert on this, just to let you know and make sure nothing happened that you didn't authorize!

If you know you chose these settings, there is no cause for worry. If you didn't, then you should choose to fix the items, and read the Malwarebytes log, and post it if you need help with it.
