best thing to do is just go to services.msc and stop and disable the security center.

anyway..what virus protection are you talking about...sp2 doesn't install any. :blink:

He wants to disable the annoying popups about having no antivirus installed..ie: one not recognised by M$

I dont think he wants to disable it completely, only the antivirus section

That being the case, perhaps the best solution would be to go to the web site of the anti-virus manufacturer and search for a patch. By now, I would wager that pretty much all the "heavy hitters" in this category have released fixes to enable it so that SP2's Security Center can recognize/report it's exsistance. Making certain that the actual software itself is up-to-date would not be a bad idea as well.

in the security center i beleive this is....
next to the anti-virus warning thingamabobber...
theres a "recommendations" button
hit that and then check the box that says something along the lines of:
"I have an anti-virus that I will monitor myself"

sheesh, and i dont even use SP2 :P
