Hi all!!

I've got a few XP SP2 pc "under my hand". They're laptops that are
_not_ part of a domain.

All of them have AV software installed, and it updates itself whenever
they go online, but it¡s a PITA (and a scare for users) when they
start getting the "you computer might be in danger - AV is not
updated" messages. THe users might not go online for some time (even a
couple of weeks in some cases), so the message is there to stay for a
while..

I'd like to remove those warnings. I've (manually) disabled the alerts
using the Security Center, but they sometimes "reapear"!!! (I used the
local Administrator account, and I disabled alerts for Firewall and
AV, but to no effect.

I was wondering if there is some way to use a LOCAL policy to disable
those alerts, or maybe some scripting that would do the same, and that
could be applied to more than on PC (it's much easier to "doble click"
an .vbs file each time I install on a new PC than to go to control
panel, etc...)

Thanks a lot for your responses...
