The "Security Center" icon is not designed to appear in the
notification area of the Taskbar. A "Windows Security Alerts"
icon will appear in the notification only if Windows XP detects
a security issue related to Windows Updates, Firewall or
your antivirus program. If you have Automatic Updates enabled,
a firewall properly installed and functioning, and your antivirus
program virus definitions are up-to-date, then that icon will not
appear.
Additionally, if you manually made changes in the way the Security
Center alerts you, the icon will not appear. This is by design.
