SP2 Auto Update annoyance

[kline]

Installed SP2 and everything seems to be working fine at the moment. Just
one annoying little niggle - I've switched off the Automatic Update feature
(I prefer to update manually) but I now have a red shield icon on the system
tray. Any way to get rid of it and the pop up message that accompanies it on
start-up? Looked in the Start Up list and I didn't see it there?

regards

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Security Center
and click on: "Change the way Security Center alerts me".
Uncheck "Automatic Updates" and click OK.

Go into Control Panel/Admin tools/services and look for Security Centre. You
can disable it from there and get rid of your red shield.
