Windows did it to me!
Something is wrong with the clock. I have corrected it earlier in the day.
Now is after midnight, 1:40 am (EST) but my clock shows yesterday date!
Why?

You open the Security Center applet in Control Panel ( Classic View )
and modify the notifications of the different monitored items.

Open the security center and "Change the way secutity center notifies you"
or something like that. Sorry, I'm not in front of an XP box right now.

How to Configure and use Automatic Updates in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525/en-us

How to change your Automatic Updates:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875349/en-us

Configure Automatic Updates to Prompt You Before You Download Updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283629/en-us

How to remove Automatic Updates icon in system tray:
Control Panel/Security Center/Change the way Security Center Alerts Me

What I do is to turn off 'Automatic Updates',
Then I manually update Windows by going the URL listed below.
Then choosing the 'Custom' option,
Windows begin a will scan of your PC.
Next list the updates that are available for your PC will be displayed.
From the displayed list of updates I then remove the checkmarks
from any of the updates that I do not want installed.

Note: You will be asked to review the updates you have selected to
be installed before Windows starts the download and install process.

I do not "ever" download and install drivers from Microsoft, far too often
they cause more problems then they fix.

While you're at it, fix your PC clock. You're posting about
12 hours in the future. Either your clock is wrong or your
time zone is incorrect.

Right clock on the date (bottom rh corner), select Customize Notifications &
change to Always Hide.
 
OK.
Something is playing havoc with the computer's clock, and it is not me!
As you noticed earlier, the date was not corect, but I did not changed it!
Now, I've noticed that the clock was set to PM instead of AM!
What can cause that?

Hello,
I have turned off automatic Windows update and doing so now I
have an icon sitting in the systray displaying "Windows Security Alerts".
I do not wish to be remainded that way and I want to get rid off that icon.
How to do that?
