How do i disable windows xp sp2 virs protection ?

[Harsh!]

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

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

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
