If the Security Center does not monitor your anti virus, contact them
to see if your version will have the necessary update.
This is an update the AV manufacturer need to make.
The Security Center not monitoring your AV in no way reduces the
functionality of you AV.
You can turn off the warning:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Security Center
Click "Change the way..." on the left side.
Make selections as desired.
