How to Hide Windows Security Alerts in XP
The Windows XP operating system frequently notifies users about the security status of their computer. Pop-up alert windows launched by the Security Center inform users about everything from virus protection issues to system updates. If you use Windows XP and do not want to see these security alerts, you can disable them while still running security services on your machine by using the Control Panel.
