Disable that annoying warning in SP2 for firewall!

[yhelothar]

The little security icon that sp2 installed keeps popping up a baloon every now and then because I have the firewall turned off, automatic updates turned off, and I have no virus scanner...

How do I disable that annoying crap?!

 

[wfbberzerker]

go to control panel -> security center

under each option, if you click 'recommendations...' you can check the box that says "i will monitor this myself..."

Disable the Security Centre service in Administrative tools - Services.

Wont bother you ever again.

Bah, maybe he has a seperate hardware NAT router, doesn't care to have AV software slowing down his machine and eating memory in the background, and doesn't want MS peeking around in his system during automatic update, nor hosing his system due to a newly-released but buggy/incompatible driver on Windows Update.

At least, those would be my reasons, since I'm basically using the same sort of configuration. I agree, the best thing that you can do with that dang "security" center (app that regularly cries wolf?), is disable it under Services, along with half of the other bundled junk in XP.
