Firewall reminder

Everytime I boot, i get the reminder that my windows firewall is off. I
then exit the security center. Is there any way to permanently turn off the
security center reminders or keep it off the tool bar?

Thank you

Jim

Re: Firewall reminder

You can change the way security center notifies you by taking a look at this
link on my website:

Are you actually using a firewall? If so is not recognised by Vista? The
Vista firewall is best left on if you are not using a third party firewall.
