William,
I pulled this out of the help section of Windows XP
To turn off Security Center alerts
The Security Center checks the security settings of your computer and alerts
you when there is an action you can take to enhance the security of your
computer. To turn off these alerts:
1.. Open the Security Center. To open the Security Center, click Start,
click Control Panel, and then double-click Security Center.
2.. Click Change the way Security Center alerts me.
3.. Clear the check boxes beside the items for which you don't want to
receive alerts, and then click OK.
Notes
a.. When you turn off Security Center alerts, the Security Center
continues to check and display status in the Security Center.
b.. If your computer is part of a domain (a group of computers on a
network), your security settings are typically managed by your network
administrator. In this case, the Security Center does not display your
security status or send alerts.
