hi all,

is there any way to remove the windows security alerts
icon from beside the clock in taskbar? I have my own
firewall so wont use the XP one and I have my own
antivirus, so again not using it. so I dont need the dumb
icon. I do my own checking of the updates page so wont be
using the auto update. please any advice on how to remove
the icon would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ice

If you update your firewall and Antivirus it will go away. I use Norton
Internet Security Pro (Norton Personal Firewall and NAV Pro); and when I ran
LiveUpdate after installation of SP2, then Windows Security Center was able
to recognize both utilities, integrated them, and the icon in the task bar
went away as there was no longer a "conflict" according to Windows Security
Center.

Security Alert Icon In The System Tray/Sys Tray

The Security Alert Icon in System Tray cannot be 'just turned off'.
Click on Security Center Icon in Control Panel
Under "Resources"
Click on "Change the way Security Center alerts me"
Uncheck what you don't want.
The Security Alert Icon leaves the System Tray.
