Hi

I suggest you just disable the message from the Security Center,
try this:

Control Panel/Security Center, click on the "Change the Way
Security Center Notifies Me" link in the left pane.

Frequently asked questions about Windows Security Center
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=883792

If the "Change the Way Security Center Notifies Me" doesn't stick
when you reboot, or you want to disable the Security Center totally,
you can do the following:

Start/Run --> services.msc

Find "Security Center" in the list, double click on it, set
"Startup type" to Disabled.
