 This informs you that a security script had been runned and will  
 report it's output via a different email (standard).
 If you configure it to not be enabled at all; it wil tell you nothing.  
 If you select the other option it will be logged via
 a different way.
 
 I do not see the arugments you are proposing. I think the current  
 output is just fine, when I read my daily email
 and see that there is additional output seperately; I will read that  
 seperate email.
