Default At Least FIVE Anti-Spyware Programs

I just run Adaware and Spybot to deal with spyware. Not that they find anything.
Then again, I don't visit warez sites either.
Strangely, Spybot always identifies two things for fixing. Both are from me
telling XP that I don't need to be told about my firewall being disabled or
program updates. Is there a way to make Spybot ignore them?

Which updates have you disabled? Some application programs or Windows
Updates?

If you have disabled Windows Updates then you are vulnerable to
attacks as exploits to take advantage of newly discovered security
flaws in Windows are being released onto the Internet within hours of
the security flaws being announced.
