This is a feature. Not a "feature", but a real live Feature. The vast majority of the worlds XP users don't know what their doing. Hell, it's hard for me and I'm a Tier 1 Network Engineer. Placing nag icons in toolbar will get the masses to use a firewall, update their patches, and load a virus checker. MS has raised the baseline for security on XP, and that's a Good Thing.
