No, not XP security centre, McAfee Security centre - part of the VirusScan and Spamkiller packages. There are virtually no configurable options on it, so I can barely change what I want to be virus scanned, let alone tell it not to show a splash screen... I may end up having to buy the professional version, but at least i'd get two licences with that.

(could be only on XPHE?) Otherwise, try going into Security Center (Start|Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Security Center). On the lower left side bar there is a link "change the way security center alerts me". click that and uncheck anti-virus. When I did this I didn't get the notification from the system tray but if you look at the security it shows anti-virus red for quite some time before it finally goes green. I think the problem ies in that MS checks too early. It should be the last service started - since it is only a check and not a solution. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Jon Tydda Sent: Friday, September 03, 2004 10:48 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: RE: [dba-Tech] XP SP2 I can't, it's on the splash screen when it loads on startup... mad, eh? :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: John Bartow [mailto:john at winhaven.net] Sent: 03 September 2004 16:47 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: RE: [dba-Tech] XP SP2 Have you turned off the alert to see if it goes away (or causes some other distraction)? -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Jon Tydda Sent: Friday, September 03, 2004 10:36 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: RE: [dba-Tech] XP SP2 I have a similar thign with McAfee Security Centre running on 2k. It loads and tells me that the firewall, virusscan and spamkiller aren't running, and second later loads them all. Very confusing for people who just don't get the sheer bloody mindedness of computers sometimes... Jon -----Original Message----- From: John Bartow [mailto:john at winhaven.net] Sent: 03 September 2004 16:35 To: _DBA-Tech; _DBA-OT Subject: [dba-Tech] XP SP2 I've noticed one small problem with XP SP2 on XPHE. I have attempted this on XPPro yet. This system has Norton Internet Security on it and after I installed SP2 Norton asked whether or not it should report its status to Windows Security Center. Norton recommended not to which I figured is just going to be confusing to this user so I chose to report the status. However with the Security Center Alert setting set to report if the AV is up to date when it first starts it momentarily warns that the computer is at risk because Norton is not turned on. It then goes away as Norton finishes loading. Bad news for the unknowing user. So I turned of the alert for AV and it doesn't do warn about it anymore. So basically it sounds like the security center is loading first - which is fairly stupid since it, in and off itself is not going to do anything but give warnings. Anyone else have issues like this? _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com The information in this e-mail is confidential and may also be legally privileged.
