I bought my computer before 2 weeks ago. And, It said I have to register my
anti-virus software "Macafee". But I coudn't register it. So, I removed this
software.
Then, security warning message comes out when I turn on the computer.
I can't do anything. In Windows XP, I could change the option(not monitered)
but I can change it in Windows Vista

Did you replace the McAfee software with a different antivirus? Did you
remember to uninstall the McAfee Security Center as well as their antivirus?

If you've removed McAfee, but still can't get the Windows Vista
warning to go away then try the following:

- Open Control Panel
- Click on Security
- Click Windows Security Center
- On the left side, select "Change the way Security Center alerts me"

You should be able to turn off notifications from there. My system is
currently monitored by nod32, but I seem to remember also being able
to select a kind of "more information" link under Virus Protection and
setting up self-monitoring there very similar to XP.

Hope this helps,
