Windows Taskbar Messages

How do I make them go away? It is always popping up notifications of network connections, etc and I want it to stop. How do I make it stop telling me stuff I already know?

Are the popups for a wireless connection or LAN?

What does the notification say exactly?

There are some spyware programs that keep giving annoying popups that sound like they are real..

Try running Spybot to see if that detects any junk..

This isn't spyware. It's the normal messages that have always been there about the LAN, Wireless network connections etc. that normally show up in those little balloons at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. They are just really annoying me.

If it is the network connection popups then they only will do this if your network is dropping out.

Wireless signal is to low and keeps fluctuating..

Possible router issues.

Is this wireless or wired?

I am mainly only talking about at start-up/log-in. This is normal operation, nothing has change since I bought this laptop a year and a half ago, I am just tired of it. Between network messages, security center messages, windows update messages and the like I want them to stop.

Again, Normal operation, just want to get away from the norm.
