One of the biggest annoying features in Windows Vista is, without any doubt, its notification icon and its security notification pop-ups which, when your computer is not safe anymore, appear on the screen reminding you of downloading, scanning, reading, clicking etc. Apart from the fact that when these pop-ups appear it doesn’t necessarily means that your computer is at risk, I don’t like the idea of having something which can bother me whenever it wants and regardless of what I am doing. If you think and feel like me, let’s see together how to disable this hunting feature with a simple trick:
- Double click on the Security icon in the system tray of your desktop.

- This action will take you to the Security Center window.
- On the left side of this window you should see a list of options. Choose the last one named: Change the way Security center alters me.
- Now a window should appear asking you to pick one of the three options available.
- Click Don’t notify me and don’t display the icon.
