Security Center Windows XP Service Pack 2

[Mike]

I installed Windows XP Service Pack 2. The Security
Center keeps warning me about my anti-virus protection. I
have set the options using the Security Center by
clicking off the notification for anti-virus and also
checking the box that I have anti-virus and do not notify
me. I can close and reopen the Security Center and these
settings are maintained. I reboot my computer and I have
to go through this procedure again. Is there any way to
get these settings saved? Is this a bug?

Hi

If the "Change the Way Security Center Notifies Me" doesn't stick when
you reboot, you can do the following:

To "solve" this problem, you can disable the Security Center service.


Start/Run --> services.msc

Find "Security Center" in the list, double click on it, set
"Startup type" to Disabled.


There is also a Group Policy setting available to disable the
Security Center (Start/Run--> gpedit.msc).

Take a look at the chapter for the Security Center in
06_CIF_Maintenance.DOC

What settings are added or changed in Windows XP Service Pack 2?
Group Policy settings (page 26 for me)


06_CIF_Maintenance.DOC ("Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP
Service Pack 2, Part 6: Computer Maintenance") can be downloaded from here:
