Fellow Computers,

How do I uninstall Windows Security Center? I think we all know that it is
not listed in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs nor is an "Uninstall" on the
Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Security Center.

Thank you very much,
 
1. Go to Start > Run and type: SERVICES.MSC , and hit enter.
2. Scroll down to SECURITY CENTER.
3. Right-click on this service and select Properites.
4. Set the Startup type to Disabled.
5. Afterward, Stop the service.

Carey,

Your directions are right on target and have worked. Thank you for all of
your efforts and your very valuble expertise.
 
Dear Carey,
Thank you for taking time to help me.

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

Ps
I also tried this that I found on this forum, but that did not work, either:
Run ... cmd

then

net start "Security Center"

net stop "Security Center"

You must include the quotes, btw.
