Guest George Hester Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I have Windows XP Professional SP2 not in a domain. It used to be but isn't now. The XP firewall is disabled; there is no anti-virus on the machine; and Automatic Updates is set to notify only. The Security Center icon continues to appear in the notification area and I cannot seem to stop that from happening. Somethimes when I double-click that icon the appearing Window is showning that the Firewall is on, but when I go to the Security Center to turn it off it is still off. When I close out of that Window and again double-click the Security Center icon in the system tray it will show it is off but the icon never goes away in the system tray. Is there something I can do to keep that Security Center icon from appearing in the notification area? Thanks. -- George Hester ________________________________

Open and in the left hand pane click on Change the way Security Center alerts me and uncheck the firewall box.
