HI Billy, In control Panel, Settings, security center. When you land in here, you should be placed in the resources area, but if not simply tab to it. Once highlighted instead of hitting enter, arrow down 5 times to the "change the way Security Center alerts me" link, and click on it. You'll now be in a dialog with checkboxes for Firewall, Virus Protection, and Security updates. Select the ones you want, press enter, and you're done! HTH.

I want to use Norton alerts instead.
