SP2 Firewall-Antivirus balloons

[Alan Auld]

I use third party applications for both Firewall and Anti-Virus. Yet, every
boot up i get the MS nag balloon that says my computer may not be protected.
I go into the Windows Security Center and click "Change the way Security
Centre alerts me". I check "i have my own firewall" so don't alert
me....yet it still does.

Is there any way to shut the balloon off?

It could be because your FW and AV aren't up-to-date?? The balloon should
have shut off with what you did.. hopefully someone will come up with some
other solution. What FW and AV are you using?

Thanks Peter;

The workstations are behind a corporate firewall. There's no need to put
software on the individual machines (well, one could argue that, but I
digress). We have the corporate Symantec Anti-virus on all the machines and
windows update is set to download then ask.

Microsoft should give us the choice not to firewall if we don't want to
without nagging me everytime. I get enough after after work .
