Stopping XP Security Warning when Starting Windows

Locked

Where I work we use Shavlik HFNetChk to push out Windows XP updates, so we disable Automatic Updates. Every time a users boots their XP SP2 PC you get the balloon popping up saying your machine may be at risk and the Red Sheild in the right side of your Task Bar. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of both of these? I emailed MS but no response after 3 days.

Try disabling the Security Center service.

Simple fix

Go to Control Panel and Security Center, then click on the link on the left that says “Change the way Security Center alerts me”. You can uncheck the appropriate box to have the warning icon no longer show in the system tray at all.
