Disable Security Center Alert (Your computer might be at risk)

There are some features in Windows XP which are really annoying. One of these features is Security Center Alert. If Windows Update or Firewall or Antivirus is disabled,Security Center Alert activates in the System tray. Everytime Windows starts,it displays a horrifying message that Your computer might be at risk.

Now there is no direct way to disable Security Center Alerts. But its not imposible and the indirect way is really easy.

1. Start>Run type services.msc and press Enter. Services Window will open.

2. From the Right Pane find Security Center and double click on it.

3. In the Security Center Properties Dialog Box, Press the Stop Button and select Startup Type: Disabled.



4. Now Press OK and close the Services Window.



Your computer might be at risk-such kind of message will not dare to horrify you again.
