Similar to Vista (and XP), Windows 7 will warn you by way of “balloon pop-ups” if your firewall, anti-virus, auto-updates etc are not currently active, which can be more than a little annoying. This brief tutorial will guide you through the steps required to turn them off.
- Start out by opening the Control Panel. From the System and Security section, select Review your computer’s status.
- From the left menu, select Change Action Center settings.
- Now remove the check-marks from the notifications you don’t want to receive in the Security messages and Maintenance settings sections.
- Once you’re done, click OK. That’s it – no more annoying pop up messages each time you disable your firewall or use an anti-virus application that Windows 7 doesn’t recognize etc.
