Can any of you tell me how to get rid of this annoying message?

If my calculations are correct this is how the settings should be but I have one of my 4 computers giving me the message anyway:

Any help will be appreciated.

you need to edit the registr files to get rid of it. I have a folder fully of loads of xp tweaks so if this isnt the correct one then sorry, but anyway open up notpad and enter this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;Disable Anti-virus Notifications
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

exactly like that then save as whatever.reg. Then run it it will ask if you want to add data to the registry click yes.
When you restart your computer it should be gone.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you very much for your response. I also found this solution on line:

How to Disable that Blasted Restart Now Message from Windows Update

Have you ever been sitting at a Windows computer and been informed that an update is
available to your OS? And so like a good security-conscious user, you download and
install the update, only to be told that you need to reboot for some reason? But then you
decide that if you've been running without that update for years, then waiting a few
hours until your current work is done shouldn?t be a big bother. Except, Windows now pops
up a Restart Now dialog box every few minutes until you do restart.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to continue running his computer without
rebooting. Here's the secret.

Press Windows-R. Type

Quote:
services.msc

in the box and press Enter. Scroll down the list
that appears to the item Automatic Updates. Right-click that item and choose -Stop-.
All done. No more notice.

When you do eventually reboot (at your lesiure), the service will restart so that you?ll
be informed of future updates. But you won't be annoyed for the rest of the session.

This is a good thing when you want to update later.

Your assistance was highly appreciated.

im not sure as its hard to tell what they are, they are named stuff like 01.reg the only way can find anything out is to open them with notepad.
