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.

I never understood the point of it, all it 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).
