As a Windows XP or Vista user, you probably wondered how can you disable the system tray pop-ups when Automatic Updates are available or the firewall/antivirus is disabled.

Upon deactivation, the Security Center pops in the system tray and starts “alerting” us that the Firewall is disabled…I don’t like that at all.
