After installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, “Your computer might be at risk” message which appears in the system tray occasionally can be quite annoying. It is a red shield with a cross sign icon indicating that some security features are disabled on your PC.

To disable it, go to Control Panel > Security Center. Click on “Change the way Security Center alerts me” link. Uncheck 3 checkboxes inside. The icon will then disappear.
