Can I get rid of the Automatic Updates warning?

[Ernie Lane]

I have turned Automatic Updates off. After upgrading to SP2, now when I
start up, I get a little "warning balloon" from the new Security Center
system tray icon that my computer may not be safe, yadda, yadda. I simply
close it, but it's a minor annoyance. Can I tweak something to get rid of
this warning?

Hi

Try this:

Control Panel/Security Center, click on the "Change the Way Security
Center Notifies Me" link in the left pane.

You have to setup security center to work they way you want. All programs
have options and settings, including the security center.
Control panel, security center, change the way security center warns me,
uncheck auto-updates. It won't warn you anymore.

Thanks. I guess I just totally missed that new applet. The fix was pretty
self-explanatory.
