All three boxes are checked and all the registry settings are "0".
If I turn on "Auto Updates" I get the yellow Icon in the notification
area when updates are downloading but I never get the red Icon
telling me my anti virus needs updating. If I open "Security Center"
it tells me anti virus is out of date but I never get the alert, not
even if I turn off the firewall.
:
Click Change the way Security Center alerts me. Check boxes beside
the items for which you want to receive alerts, and then click OK.
Check settings here (copy of my settings in the registry):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000000
"FirewallOverride"=dword:00000000
NOTE: For example, if you have chosen "I have a firewall solution
that I'll monitor myself" and the similar option for Anti-virus
monitoring, both the values AntiVirusOverride & FirewallOverride are
set to 1.

Ahhhhhhhh, but I have read.
My computor is in "red" state now, (anti-virus out of date, auto
update off) and still no icon in the notification area. If I open
Security Center by way of the start menu or control panel I am told
these things, but no alerts.

Center works
