Question for you computer wizzards out there

Can anyone please tell me how I can get rid of the Microsoft Update reminder (have downloaded the updates already) that keeps popping up and telling me I must restart my computer NOW. I don't want to, and I don't need pop-up appearing every few minutes. HELP

Hehe, it will keep coming back until you reboot it, but you can drag the box out of view of the screen at the bottom of the task bar. This is very crude.

THANK YOU - you have saved my sanity (for now). So you really can't get rid of it and stop it happening for future reference?

You can't. Sorry Sorinda. I agree that it does get irritating after a while.

If you want to get rid of it completely, just turn off automatic updates.
Right click my computer, scroll to properties, and click it on it. Then click on the tab that say automatiec updates and change how they are downloaded. You can turn it off or choose to be notified before downloading, what ever you want. Then the box won't pop up at all!
