I know that I have seen this screen however now I can not find it. We have a Win98 machine that periodically tells you when there are new updates available. I do not want it to alert the user at all. How can I turn this off?

It's not the new critical update. It's just the standard that comes pre-installed with windows 98.

That is an option that was downloaded from
microsoft. Go back to the updates page and
select view installed updates. Find the notify
new updates and remove it.
