Win XP SP2 Your Computer May not Be Protected Ballon Redisplays

[Guest]

Hello.

I have Win XP and I recently installed Service Pack 2 on a few of my
computers. After I installed SP2 it kept telling me that my computer may not
be protected which is caused by my not allowing Norton Autoprotect to run in
the background. I have set the Security Center to not monitor my Antivirus
status or else it will pop up each time I start my PC. However, on two of my
systems, I set the Security center to not monitor my firewall or Antivirus
status and each time I restart the Security center always pops back up and
tells me that my system may not be protected. I don't know why it is doing
this.
Also, on some systems it shows that my Antivirus program is active when I
don't even have it running in the background (and I'm sure of this).

Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this issue? Thanks,

Tavis

Anti Virus program might not be running but the services probably are. You
can also stop the windows security service if you do not like it.

Hi

Have you tried this one:

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

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

Start/Run --> services.msc

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