Security Center

Description

Monitors system security settings and configurations. BlackViper.com adds: This service monitors the status of Automatic Updates, Windows Firewall and virus protection software. It is always displayed in the system tray as to the status of these particular functions. If you do not want the Security Center to monitor these functions for you, disabling this service is not enough. After rebooting the system, this service will again be placed into Automatic and started. While the service is in the started state, go to Start > Control Panel > Security Center and select the link on the left hand side labeled Change the way Security Center alerts me. In the resulting dialog box, uncheck Firewall, Automatic Update and Virus Protection. After that step is complete, you may place the Security Center service in disabled and it will not start again or continue to be displayed in the system tray after a reboot. This does not, however, disable any of the three protections, it only disables Security Center.
