Hi,

I setup a test machine with XP SP2 with no virus program. (Yeh,Yeh, i
know, not safe, but the pc is not connected to the internet, no disks or
cd's come in. Its only a temporary clean machine to test software from our
softwarepeople)
The machine works perfect, the only verry annoying thing is that the
Security center, everytime gives me a message that "you computer is not
safe, no antivirus program has been installed, etc....." blablabla...
If i then check, in security center, the "I"ve installed a virus porgram
that i manage...", the mesage goes away, but after rebooting, there it is
again !

Also disabling virus messaging in the security center did not do the trick.

Is there a way to get rid of this annoying message balloon ?

Regards,
Jo

Select change preferences or something similar and uncheck them all.

You may disable it from registry tweaking.

Start>Run>Regedit>Ok

Now navigate to the following key:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Security Center

In the right-pane, set AntiVirusDisableNotify (REG_DWORD) and set to 1
[Default Value is 0]

Close the registry editor and reboot.

You can disable the security centre entirely, by setting the service to
disable in

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
