Ignoring protection problems
If SecurityCenter detects a non-critical problem, you can either
fix or ignore it. Other non-critical problems (for example, if
Anti-Spam or Parental Controls are not installed) are
automatically ignored. Ignored problems are not shown in the
protection category information area on the SecurityCenter
Home pane, unless your computer's protection status is green. If
you ignore a problem, but later decide that you want it to appear
in the protection category information area even when your
computer's protection status is not green, you can show the
ignored problem.
