How do I remove Windows security alerts from my task bar?

Go to the 'Security Center' control panel and switch the offending items (firewall, virus protection and automatic updates) to "I'll monitor it myself" or "Not monitored".\n\nMy recommendation for Automatic Updates, by the way, is either of the two middle options, "Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", or "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them".  That way, I get a notification, but Microsoft isn't doing anything to my machine without me knowing about it.

Click on it and drag it down to the bottom. Once you've done this, right-click on it and choose "Lock the Taskbar" to keep it from happening again.

(See Yahoo news article below).\n\nThey are currently offering a Free Trial of their program which will scan your computer and automatically remove this threat amongst others your other security programs have no doubt missed.

1- go to control panel, then to add/remove programs and check if the toolbar name is listed there and try to remove it...\n\n 2- if that doesn´t work ( very probable) try to install windows defender from microsoft website, this one is very strong up to date anti-spyware tool, I GUESS it will be effecient.\n\n 3-yet, in case step 2 is not enough, try to go to C folder and then to PROGRAM FILES and look for the folder with the toolbar name and try to delete it. sometime you have to rename the folder before you can delete it...\n\n   I am almost sure that step 2 will be very sufficient to remove it; yet, to insure the aximum security of your computer try :\n - to check if the windows firewall is enabled\n - you have to firewall the internet connection, you can do it by opening internet connection ( ex local area network or wireless network) then left mouse button click on the network icon and go to properties then click on ADVANCED , on the top you will have windows firewall, you have to click on settings and then select ON ( reccomended)... :)\n\n   I hope these steps will help you get rid of the spyware trouble.\n\n good luck

Well... it depends.\nSome programs like Sound cards driver and video drivers have a check in the advanced setup to enable or disable notification icon in taskbar.\n--DANGER--\nFor other programs you should go to the registry in\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Run\nor\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Run\nfind the software that you want to remove and delete the entry.\nDo it at your own risk!!!!!!!\n--DANGER--
