How do I get Windows Security to SHUT UP?!

[Goldom]

The first time I installed XP-SP2, once I told it that, yes, I have my own firewall and so stop bugging me, it went away forever. Then I had to reinstall my system and everything, and no matter how many times I check "i have my own firewall" and/or "don't alert me if i don't have a firewall", it forgets and comes back when I start the computer every time. Is there a registry key this option is supposed to edit that I can change manually or something?

1. Throw it out the Window™ and buy a Mac n/t

3. How do I get this loudmouth talking about hunting to SHUT UP?

Diarrhea of the mouth at 80 decibels.

4. Use Macs

You will never have that problem again. I promise.

6. it's a good thing I manage to figure things out myself

because -every- thread I ask for help, I get all these people "use a mac" or "use this" "use that" instead of what I have, and it -doesn't help-. For the record, I do use a Mac, used one for years back before OSX, and use a new one at 'work', and I'm quite happy to have my pc.

7. and then they start threads about those heathen Windowers

always forcing their platform down others' throats; OS wars are the most ridiculous online endeavor...

10. Hey, though I'm using a Mac at work

I will not advise you to buy one. Just install linux ;-) (what I use at home). Linux won't (Slackware, anyway) install or configure crap you don't want.

11. if your using Internet Explorer STOP

go to Mozilla/Foxfire, download their browser and use that. You'll be glad you did.

[Goldom]

12. wow, now for "change your browser"!

and it's not even related! I did get foxfire, because everyone said I would love it sooo much and never want to go back. and, .. eh. *shrug*. With an OS that runs on IE, using another to browse the web with makes little difference, except personal preference. All IE's vulnerabilities are part of the system anyway.
