Coco Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Does anyone know how you can get rid of the windows security alert icon if you don't turn on automatic updates? I don't want ot get into it but I don't want to turn on windows update on a certain machine. Of course if I don't you got this stupid annoying windows securit alert sitting beside the clock that just won't go away.So does anyone know how to make it leave the clock. In effect I don't need to security center to work at all. I mean sure the firewall can run and antivirus can run but I don't need windows to tell me what they're doing. If I wanna know I can go and check myself. I just want to get this thing out of my system tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Open up the "Security Center" from Control Panel.Then at the left-side bar, look for the option (at the bottom) called "Change the way Security Center alerts me". Click that link, and you get the option you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravashaak Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 What about disabling this via registry or something else that can be automated? - Ravashaak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasemus Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) *UPDATE* - Oddly, my last attempt to use this patch did not work.These registry settings will disable windows security alerts and can be applied at install time in an automated fashion. The previous sentence was for the benefit of people searching for the solution to this problem.---snip---Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]"FirstRunDisabled"=dword:00000001"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001"AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000000"FirewallOverride"=dword:00000000---snip---throw that in a .reg file; one is attached.securitypopups.reg Edited August 2, 2005 by chasemus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 There are also services that can more than likely be disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasemus Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I figured it out for real this time.You need to carve lines out of TXTSETUP.SIF and DOSNET.INF or remove the security center service component using nLite. I recommend using nLite.Note that nLite will modify TXTSETUP.SIF and DOSNET.INF. Other modified stamps will be affected but WINNT.SIF is left alone and nothing else is actually changed.
