It's running in the background, and seems to be working fine, but is there a way to disable its system tray icon so I don't have to see it down there unless it's detecting something going awry?

Right click on empty part of systray choose "Customize Notifications" Change the behavior of Current Item (Computer Status Protected) to "Always Hide"

This will hide the tray icon permanently.

Will that allow you to see if there are problems with MSE? – alex Oct 2 '09 at 15:41
most likely, if the icon changes in case a threat is detected, the rule will no longer apply and it will become visible. – Molly7244 Oct 29 '09 at 15:26
That doesn't actually hide the icon; it just moves it to the "overflow" area. i'm still hunting for a way to remove it completely. – Ian Boyd May 19 at 3:06
