Start>Run>services.msc>ok

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

There is also a Group Policy setting available to disable the
Security Center (Start>Run>gpedit.msc>ok).You can use a Group Policy
setting to centrally manage the Security Center feature for computers in
a Windows domain. The Turn on Security Center (Domain PCs only) policy
setting is accessed in the Group Policy Object Editor in the Computer
Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Security
Center node.From there you can disable it also.
