spybot is reporting windows security center as spyware

Spybots scan gives this file a registry as spyware:

windows Security Center.AntiVirusOverride: Settings (Registry change,
nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security
Center\AntiVirusOverride!=dword:0

As far as I know this file and registry is related to microsoft firewall.
Am I wrong here. Does anyone else getting this reported as spyware for
spybot?

Spybot does that to me too. I simply highlighted it and right clicked and
clicked "exclude this from future scans" so I didn't have to look at it every
time. Spybot reads it as Spyware because it is part of the securtiy
protection that monitors your firewall and anti-virus protection.
