#299647 - 23/06/2007 14:13 Getting rid of Windoze XP Security Shield on taskbar
Ladmo addict Registered: 04/09/2004 Posts: 525 Loc: Oklahoma	I'm running XP Pro (SP2) at home and have automatic updates turned off (I run them manually). Every stinking time I boot up the damn red security shield pops up on the taskbar and also gives me a balloon saying 'You might be at risk...'... Anyone know how to kill the damn shield (and still leave the auto update turned off?!?!?) Thanks

Stop the service and change it to "Disabled". Now you've turned off all the ridiculous "functionality" rather than simply silenced the alerts.
