"change the way security center alerts me" is a light gray color for me...not allowing me to click on it to change it. :/

Posted by frost on September 28th, 2006

I find that if it is greyed out that means it should not be alerting you. Can anyone verify this?

Woo hoo! Finally got rid of this annoyance. THANKS FrosT!

Posted by anonymous on May 17th, 2008

Worked for me also. Don't know why it pops up because everything is enabled and working. Anyway what idiot in their right mind would create a popup that displays so quick you cannot even read it to see what is causing it. I disabled eveything else in MSconfig but still didn't stop it. Only when I got the same thing on a very slow computer did the popup stay long enough to be read. Very bad programming.

Posted by anonymous on May 29th, 2008

Thanks for your help!

Posted by anonymous on August 10th, 2008

Aaaah... that's so much better... thank you...

Posted by anonymous on August 16th, 2008

I hate the fact that you have to manually do this. I have a small reg script that disables ballon tips, but of course the special 'security' bullshit is exempt from that. Anyone know a way to script turning these options off?

Posted by anonymous on August 20th, 2008

Still a useful tip!

Posted by anonymous on August 27th, 2008

Stop and disable "security center" service

Posted by anonymous on August 27th, 2008

Thank you so much man! OMG I LOVE YOU ROFL!!! I am pretty fond of computers, and I didn't know it would be that easy to get rid of the annoying thing lol! w00t ty again

Posted by anonymous on November 09th, 2008

Posted by anonymous on November 11th, 2008

The instructions did not help me because there is no Resources pane in the latest version of this horrible nuissance. Can anyone please help me further, directly to my e-mail milana81@eunet.rs or I might go crazy.

Man, i cant clik the option

Posted by anonymous on January 17th, 2009

It's my home computer... Tried to fix, but I have a grey box and cannot change... For those posts that say I do not have admin privliges, this is my computer not a work computer... For those who say that means that I have nothing that needs to be updated, I still get update messages... this is annoying... Anyone know which reg hack may work? Thanks

Posted by anonymous on January 17th, 2009

thanks works a charm

Posted by anonymous on January 31st, 2009

Thank you so much. This is so great.

Posted by anonymous on February 02nd, 2009

Posted by anonymous on February 04th, 2009

Thank you so much. Have ditched all but one office PC in favour of Macs but had to keep this useless heap to run our accounting software. At least its a bit less annoying to use now.

Posted by anonymous on March 04th, 2009

I find things like that annoying, but I'm a computer person (like most who would post here). But we are less than 0.5% of computer users, the other 99.5% need to be told that stuff.

Posted by anonymous on March 08th, 2009

Go to Help and Support in Windows. Search Security Center. It tells you how to turn off security alert in the help and support section.

Posted by anonymous on March 16th, 2009

thanks a lot... good post...

Posted by anonymous on March 17th, 2009

dude, that thing has been annoying me for years. my life will be so much better now. you are a truly supreme being.

Posted by anonymous on April 15th, 2009

Thanks a lot for the info, even though it wasn't exactly that path I followed in windows Vista Black edition,- this note gave me the info to go directly to the Security Center and solve it from there...simple, when you first get the idea,- so thanks a lot.

Posted by anonymous on April 23rd, 2009

Thanks very much. An easy tip yet it took me ages to find my way here. Thanks again.

Posted by anonymous on June 04th, 2009

Waw, it's really work. Thank you very much. I've tried another advise by using program that make me have to re install my windows. This tips rocks!

Posted by anonymous on June 11th, 2009

Posted by anonymous on June 14th, 2009

well, i do not have the security center in my system tools listing. I have already turned off everything in service awhile back and the freaking thing still give warning every time I start my PC. damn microsoft...not like its security does any good, damn bandaid company

Posted by anonymous on June 17th, 2009

I also didn't have the security center in my system tools, but I "encouraged" it to pop-up by stopping the Security Center service and was able to disable the balloon warning from there. Thank you very much for the info, that thing has been bugging me forever!

Posted by anonymous on June 27th, 2009

Cannoy image how easy. Thanks.

Posted by anonymous on July 07th, 2009

Anyone encountering the buy antivirus software you are infected with spyware, please download and install Malware Bytes which is also free.

Posted by anonymous on July 31st, 2009

Hah! Simply easy, but simpler to find instructions that fiddle with it for 15 minutes, thanks for the help man.

For those of you with questions about virus protection, get AVG, it's best for it's price seeing how it's free, virus free for 2 years now, and I download things all the time, if you're looking for heavier protection, just search around and avoid Mcaffee(Spelling) and Norton.
