"windows secruity alerts" icon in system tray. How to disable?

[UNiCRON]

There's a windows update that screws up my keyboard so that it does not function correctly. I do not want to download this update. I have the Windows auto-update turned off, the result is I get the red shield in the system tray informing me that my "computer might be at risk". How do I stop this warning from popping up when I start my computer?

Start > Control Panel > Security Center, then go to "change the way security center alerts me", and untick the automatic updates tickbox.

Thanks jimmalenko!

I've opened the Security Center a billion times before, but I have never even looked on the side to see what options are available. Lol, I'm such a dummy!

Thanks again for the quick response.

Just wondering. How exactly does it screw you your keyboard because I'm having a minor keyboard issue also.

Sorry for not responding sooner. When installing the Microsoft MS06-015 Security Update (KB908531), my HP keyboard's multimedia and internet buttons no longer work.

If you have an HP Desktop PC and/or Compaq Presario desktop PC made after 2003, see the link below for more info and driver update:

In my case the keyboard/mouse update did not solve my problem.
