Security in Windows family has always been a debatable topic.With the advent of long released SP2,there came the red shield like icon – Windows security center.
Windows security center acts like a guard who checks your XP box for following three settings :
1.Firewall status
2.Antivirus software status
3.Windows updates status
What if we have all of those 3 updated and configured religiously but still have to deal with messages from Windows security center? We can disable it for sure.
There is the GUI way of doing it :
1.Start>Run>services.msc
2.Locating Security Center service
3.Hitting stop button.
But wait,there is a cooler way of doing it just by typing few commands from our beloved command prompt.
1.First by checking whether the service is running by typing :
sc query wscsvc
2.Then,simply stopping it :
net stop wscvc
Peace.
