Spybot is trying to protect you by removing the flag that tells
Windows to not remind you about the firewall, in case some malicious
program turned that off so that you wouldn't be aware of your firewall
not working. Since you turned it off yourself, then you need not be
concerned about what Spybot thinks of it. I don't remember if Spybot
has an option to ignore that, but it shouldn't take you too long to
look at all of the options. I remember seeing such an option in either
AdAware or Spybot, just not sure which.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
