Go into Control Panel, then Security Center. In the left pane click on
"Change the way the Security Center alerts me". Uncheck Automatic
updates, click ok.

Try to disable your Security Center service.

Or you can disable balloons entirely via a simple registry hack. Check out
line 11 on the following link.

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

That line is titled "disable balloon tips." You can click on the link and a
window will pop up showing you some mumbo jumbo which is a registry edit
file. Basically you just save the page as a .reg file (on your desktop or
somewhere you can easily find it) and then open it. You should get a
message that says the registry has been updated or something to that effect.
You can then delete that file. Let us know if you have any more questions
or need more help.

Good luck!
