If you’re using Windows XP, you may have noticed a popup message asking you to disable your computer. This is a common problem in XP, as it’s one of the most popular operating systems on the market. Unfortunately, this message is not just a harmless pop-up; it can actually be dangerous. If you don’t disable your computer, your computer might be at risk of crashing or even going out of service. If this happens, you’ll need to take action quickly and fix the issue before it becomes too late. Here are three tips to helpdisable your computer:
- Open up Control Panel and click on the “System” tab. Under “System Services,” find “Windows Defender.” Disable Windows Defender and then restart your computer.
- Open up System Preferences and click on the “Advanced” tab. Under “System Settings,” find “Computer Name.” Change the name of your computer to something more secure and then restart your computer.
- Open up System32\cmd\system32\dllcache\wbem\wbemcli64.exe and delete all of the files inside it (except for wbemui1). This will disable any future attempts by Windows to access any files that may have been stored in that folder.
Note: You should probably have antivirus software installed.
You will want to open up your control panel, and then open the Security Center icon.
On the left hand side of the security center window, you will see a resources section. Click the bottom link, “Change the way Security Center alerts me”
You can choose which alert to disable here. Since I don’t have antivirus software, I unchecked the bottom checkbox.
No more annoying popups!
