I have the SP2 installed and all is well ... except that every time I boot
it throws up an aggravating ballon telling me automatic updates are turned
off. I know that. I want them off.

How can I stop that damn ballon from popping up from the tool bar?

az-willie,

Open the Security Center from the applet in the Control Panel. In
the left frame click on "Change the way Security Center alerts me".
Uncheck the box next to "Automatic Updates", click OK. Close the
Security Center.

Thank you thank you thank you. I had been searching in startup etc. etc.
and couldn't find out how to turn that darned thing off. It drove me nuts
popping up every time I reboot or start up.

Thanks again.

No .. No .. I < do > hate Bush. I hate him BECAUSE of what he does.

So call me a proud Bush Hater.
