Remove Windows Security Alert Popups or How to Disable the Windows Security Alerts

Categories: ,

Windows XP SP2 added the security center to monitor firewall, automatic updates, and antivirus settings and to warn users when there is a problem. This is a good idea for the most part, since it gives a visual warning to the user when their antivirus or firewall have been disabled or changed.

However, what if your computer doesnt connect to the internet often enough to update your antivirus, or if you have purposely turned off the Automatic Updates feature. Maybe you dont want Windows to warn you each time you restart your computer or modify something.
I have had several instances where the Windows XP SP2 Security Alert balloons were more of a nuisance than anything else.
Examples of the Security Alert Balloons
Windows Firewall is Turned off


Automatic Updates have been turned off




Antivirus is turned off or not installed






How to Turn off Security Alert Notifications




Open the Control Panel


Double-click on the Security Center icon


Click on the option "Change the way Security Center alerts me"




Uncheck the alert settings boxes you wish and click Ok
