Every time i boot up that stupid balloon comes up and says
your computer may be at risk. But it's not as i have Norton
Firewall, so i don't need it. Every time it comes up i have
to set it to "I have a firewall solution I'll monitor
myself", but it always forgets this when the computer is
switched off. Is there a patch or something for this?

Hi

Have you tried this one:

Control Panel/Security Center, click on the "Change the Way
Security Center Notifies Me" link in the left pane.

Frequently asked questions about Windows Security Center
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=883792


If the "Change the Way Security Center Notifies Me" doesn't stick
when you reboot, or you want to disable the Security Center totally,
you can do the following:

Start/Run --> services.msc

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