Go into the "control panel" and go to the "windows security center".
You should be able click on the firewall and select "I have another
firewall solution - do not monitor" or something like that. I'm not
quite sure what you click on - one of them will bring up the firewall
"which is what you don't want". You just don't want the security center
to monitor it - thats whats giving you the message.

Yes, that will work _if_ you have agree to received automatic updates and
patches for WinXP. Otherwise, that message will come back each time the
computer is turned on.
