WindowsXP Service Pack 2

[K.J.B.]

Hi,

I have installed WindowsXP Service Pack2 in all my XP machines. Can u turn
off the "Windows Security Center". It confuses my users and makes them
panic. I have turned off the Windows firewall as it disrupts my remote
communications.

Any ideas?

Hi

Try this:

Open the Security Center and click on 'Change the way Security Center alerts
me'. Enable/disable the options in there.

Yes, you can disable the Security Center service. (That should be enough to
kill the balloon and distractions.

Control panel, security center, change the way security center alerts me,
uncheck anything you don't want to be alerted about.

Absolutely. Despite how highly the Security Center is touted, I
thnk it's a very minor feauture of SP2, and does nothing useful
for most people. I certainly don't need to be told whether my
anti-virus program and firewall are running; I already know.

In Security Center click the 'Change how Security Center advises me'and
turn off the warnings. If they come back nevertheless, turn off its
Service in Admin Tools - Services.

I trust you are protecting with some other firewall or things are in
*serious* danger
