Hi

If this is Security Center popups in the system tray (Security
Center is installed by Service Pack 2 for Windows XP):

Control Panel/Security Center, click on the "Change the Way Security
Center Notifies Me" link in the left pane.
 
XP SP2 Security Center alert:
Open the Security Center by typing WSCUI.CPL in the Start, RUN box. Or,
click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Security Center. Click
Change the way Security Center alerts me. Clear the check boxes beside the
items for which you don't want to receive alerts, and then click OK.

Disable the Security Center service:

Start/Run --> services.msc

Find "Security Center" in the list, double click on it, set "Startup type"
to Disabled.

There is also a Group Policy setting available to disable the Security
Center (Start/Run--> gpedit.msc).

Take a look at the chapter for the Security Center in 06_CIF_Maintenance.DOC

What settings are added or changed in Windows XP Service Pack 2?
Group Policy settings (page 26 for me)

06_CIF_Maintenance.DOC ("Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP
Service Pack 2, Part 6: Computer Maintenance") can be downloaded from here:
