firewall bypass

[JS]

Greetings All,
On my two computers, both running AV, MS firewall, and S& D installed, I
got something that S& D called "MSfirewall bypass', has anyone else seen
this and is it anything to worry about? If it is, what else can be done,
besides telling S & D to get rid of it?
If this is posted to the wrong NG, forgive me and tell me one to post to.

Wish I could tell you BUT, after accessing the Spybot Forum and finding
a couple of threads on this ... the connection timed out and I can't
reconnect.
Apparently this is a 'popular' issue:

OK ... back in now. The Moderator recommends having Spybot fix the
detection -
