Re: Security Alert

Are you sure its (1.) "Your Computer is infected" being prompted, or is
(2.)"You computer might be at risk" its seems what you depict if Security
Center for XP.

--------------------------------------------------------------

If it is (2.) You would need to have an Anti-Virus / Windows Update /
Firewall
( Primary needs of Security Center SP2 ) satisfy those needs or so just
choose not to prompt you with those instances by clicking on recommendations
button then on the recommendation console tick on the I have a .... square
box thats ill monitor myself and then click ok.

--------------------------------------------------------------

But if its a prompt on the system tray "You computer is infected with" a
different icon.
try to use an optional 3rd party tool anti-spyware and malware tool (

For Anti-Virus:
proceed here for options
