Security Alerts keep showing up

[shdhawk]

Hello,

I know the new feature with SP2 is the security center, I've disabled it 100xs of times and it keeps showing up every time I reboot.

I told the secuirty center, I have my own firewall, plus I've told it not to notify me about firewall settings and it still keeps showing up...

I figured something has gota be wrong with the registery, has anyone seen this?

As to notifications appearing and stopping them, from the newsgroups. Open notepad and create a new file to be called no_complain.reg and then copy/paste the below:

---------Start copy/paste below this line-------
REGEDIT4

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; Dont complain about the firewall being off.
;
; Also turns off anti-virus and Automatic Update warnings.
; Comment out the lines below as desired.
;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"FirewallOverride"=dword:00000001
"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000001

---------End cut here---------

Save the file and then double click it to merge with your registry. Reboot.

Please let me note that the above registry edit includes all the notifications involved with Service Pack 2. Please pick and choose as needed and delete the others.

Bill

Did you try stopping and disabling both the Security Center service and the Windows Firewall service in Services?
