    Need help disabling an internal Windows security message


    I have a notification popping up that says "The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system Administrator."

    I know why it is popping up, as I blocked a file from running in my O/S (Windows7-64bit Ultimate), but I would like to disable the message from appearing altogether, as it is so invasive that it will minimize fullscreen movies & apps and pop-up whenever it blocks the file from running. I am logged in to the only (Administrator) account on this computer.


    I know of 3 ways to restrict a file from running in Windows 7:

    1.Right-clicking the file and selecting "properties" and then modifying the permissions under "SYSTEM" to "Deny" "Read & Execute"

    2.Local Security Policy Console

    3.Group Policy Console


    I guess my question is.. How can I make this notification 'silent'? (or disable the notification altogether)
    I need the program that the blocked file comes with, but had to disable that portion of it.

    Thanks!

    Can you give us a clue what program you are having problems with?

    Oh it's Avira. To block their notifier taskbar app. Not a supported feature (to block it) but I have successfully done this without issue in the past..

    Do you think it's a comparable antivirus? I assume there's some bias here... heheh

    Rates high, and I forget I even have it installed.

    Was only recently I stopped panicking whenever I realized my computer wasn't bogging down or showing me an alert telling me to buy the pro version.
