I would like to know how I go about disabling or uninstalling the window
security center. Can anyone help me?
 
In a domain you can use group policy.

Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components /
Security Center
 
It's a Service.

If you run services.msc (or go in via Control Panel>Adminstrative Tools) you
can set it to manual start.
 
thank you I will try this

I don’t like the Security Center Shield Icon appearing in my task bar, and I
don’t like the The pop up voice balloon that appears every time I log on to
my pc, (each time I boot the pc) is extremely annoying and I don’t want to
see it, ever.

I followed the procedure to remove Security Center, LM Security, and
Security Account Manager from my Start up programs by using
Run
Msconfig

Also, I followed the help section procedure to turn off security alerts by
selecting “change the way Security Center alerts me. I checked the box
beside and checked OK

There is that note: Notes
• When you turn off Security Center alerts, the Security Center continues to
check and display status in the Security Center.
I don’t want this happening on my PC. I think this started after I agreed to
update to a newer version of Windows XP, as a pop up box suggested.

I used this procedure next:
Taskbar and Start Menu Properties
Task Bar
Customize
Always Hide
OK
Apply
Ok
The Security Center Shield Icon correctly disappears from the task bar.
However, when I shut down the pc and later boot it up again, the shield Icon
is right back there in the tray, and when I go through the above procedure
again, the pull down menu that I had previously changed to Always Hide, the
choice in the pull down menu has changed on its own to Hide When Inactive. I
want Always Hide . And I don’t want that to change when I reboot.

I feel that this can be corrected, I just don’t know how. Can you tell me
the step by step procedure to permanently hide the icon? The pop up voice
balloon that appears every time I log on to my pc, (each time I boot the pc)
is extremely annoying and I don’t want to see it, ever.

I tried to remove the whole Security Center program using
Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs
But the Security Center does not appear in the populated list. So I can’t
remove the Security Center program this way. If there is another way to
remove that program, please tell me that procedure.
I use McAfee Security Center. That’s all I want on my pc. It works fine.
Thank you
