"a change was made by a known application" alert

[Guest halwizardoflittle]

Windows defender is giving me an alert that reads as SUBJ line says whenever

I go to connect or disconnect to a network and it lists MSWSOCK.dll. What

change was made? I click on the bubble that pops up and it either goes away

or the configfree selection box pops up. this has been happening since I

installed the Winows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) update a few days ago.

what did it (the service pack 1) do and how do I get the alert to stop

popping up all the time.

In WD

go into tools/options

Scroll down where you see:

"Choose if windows Defender should notify you about"

Uncheck Software that has not been classified for risks"

Scroll all the way down and click "SAVE"

If that doesn't resolve it- then also uncheck- Changes made to your ocmputer

by software that is permitted to run

Make sure you click "Save" again
