Hi,

I've turned off updates for XP pro, but I get this nag every time I boot up
that "my computer may be at risk" etc.

Is there any way to disable this nag?

thanks for any advice,

Change How Security Center Alerts Me:

- Open the Security Center by double-clicking its icon next to the time or
type Security Center in the search box in the start menu and click Security
Center or Control Panel --> Security Center.
- Click Change the way security center notifies me in the left column of the
security center window.

Rondo,
You need to disable the balloon tips in XP, this can be done one of two
ways:
1. Download/Install Tweak UI for XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
You may want to also download the registry key to enable a Control Panel
Icon for TweakUI from Kellys Tip Korner:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/xp_AddTweakUItoControlPanel.vbs

Start Tweak UI> under StartUp and Taskbar Menu, you will clear the box to
"Enable Balloon tips".

2. Or following the instructions in editing the registry, found at:
