Extremely bad advice.
MS Security Center should be on for everyone who's not a techie.
AV Monitoring and auto updates are critical components that will save
the average user from potentially serious problems.
A very worthy use of memory and resources, because so many are clueless
about AV and firewall issues.

does is monitor your AV, Auto updates (which also should be off), and
the XP firewall, and lets you know when you've turned them
off--something of which I do not need to be told because I KNOW when
I've turned them off. I also know by just looking at the System Tray if
my AV and 3rd party firewall is running. (I just opened up mine and I
don't even see that it even monitors your AV software anymore. Maybe
the center has to be "on and running" to do that).
