Security Center is only an "alerter". If you have an earlier version of
NAV, there is a patch for the recognition on Symantec's website.
Otherwise, if your NAV is kept current (you've paid for your
subscription and it is a fairly recent version - not earlier than
2004), you should just turn off the Security Center alert. NAV itself
will alert you when it is time to renew your subscription.

Open the Security Center applet in Control Panel and click on the
left-side link, "Change how Security Center alerts me" and uncheck the
alerts for AV.
