Daniel:
i'd like to just trigger the registry in order to have more days before it pops up the alert... any clue where in the registry for me to change the settings to 5 or 7 days instead of +/- 2 days. i am using mcafee and most of the times it is ok, but if i forget to update it during the week-end, unless i run the datfiles twice with a reboot, this balloon shows up.
p.s./ for removing the thing alltogether i was already aware or this, but it would work in deed.
thanks,
daniel

doesn't help much at first. i'm using win xp after selecting 'security center" from "control panel" you have to click on the left part on "change the way security center alerts me" and then unselect the type of alert you don't like to get anymore (in my case all three types...)
