How can I disable Windows security alerts?

I'm giving 2 computers as birthday presents for 2 young grandchildren to use for word processing and printing only.  They both taught by their parents that they will never be able to have computers in their bedrooms connected to the Internet.   Both computers are running Windows XP Pro version 2002 with Service Pack 3 OS.  It's annoying to have the pop-up WARNING "is your computer may be in danger..." "whenever a computer is started, especially since the closure of the message not always keep it to appear again.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Hi demckay7,

If you do not have to connect to the computer with the internet or any other devices that can infect computers, you can disable the security temporarily alert.

For more information, see: How to disable Security Center alerts

However, I recommend you to install security software on your computer andmake sure that you update the anti-virus software frequently so that it works correctly.

You can also download & install Microsoft Security Essentials on your machine.

Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • How can I remove Windows Security Suite of XP?

    Can someone help me? I have the Windows Security Suite virus on my XP computer. Whenever I start the PC, a program runs telling me I have so many viruses, Trojans etc. and asks me to buy software to get rid of them (I didn't buy it!). I also pop ups in the lower left corner of the bar saying various programs tasks, we stopped loading due to infection by the w32/blaster.worm. I learned that it is the Windows Security Suite Virus. How can I remove this? I try to run various software in normal mode, but the virus blocks to open up. I can't open any programs or crib etc. in normal mode due to the virus of the task. I went into safe mode and ran the programs, but they detect all viruses! I used Malwarebytes for it. How can I remove this virus? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I disable windows backup; He still has not

    We have to stop the backup operation; Unable to save files for some strange reason.

    I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Three I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 8 years no 1 problem), Easeus Todo Backup free, you can download it from

    http://www.TODO-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm and Memeo , which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com . You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

    The March 2012 issue of PC World has been very high on the program FREE of Easeus and CNET. I've tested it recently in a variety of configurations; and must say that I am very impressed. As Ghost will support up to a network drive and it will create a bootable CD for when your PC does not start. See comment by CNET of it to

    Some of them are free (the last time I checked there over 300), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

    External hard drives are the best for backup. You can get a 500 GB one for $70 and a 1 TB for around $90. You can also buy a flash drive of 32 GB for less than $20. It is the best insurance you can buy ever!
