How do i stop it running?

1. Locate the Windows Security Alerts icon on your taskbar (the one that looks like a shield, the one that is bugging you every time you start the machine) and double-click the icon.

2. When the "Windows Security Center" window appears, click "Change the way Security Center alerts me".

3. When the "Alert Settings" dialog box appears, uncheck the "Firewall", "Automatic Updates", and/or "Virus Protection" boxes as needed.

4. Press "OK" on the dialog box to close it.

5. Click the "X" on the top-right of the "Windows Security Center" window to close it.
