Windows 10: Windos Security surprisingly seeks to make changes to my computer

I'm running Windows10. On startup this morning I got two messages in Windows Security/Virus and Threat protection/Protection History that two "Severe" threats were blocked. I clicked the down arrow expecting to get more information about the threats, but instead was asked if I would give permission for Windows Security (verified publisher Microsoft Windows) to make changes to this computer. This seemed like odd behavior....perhaps suspicious in the context of "Severe Threats". My computer appears to be up to date. Should I be worried?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:

How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.
