Vista Security Center: Fuck off.

[Loyal]

In the newest automatic update, Vista's security system has suddenly decided that my version of its antivirus software is unregistered, incomplete, and I need to upgrade (see: Pay it to keep doing what it already claimed to be doing up till now). Under normal circumstances I'd simply decline and go about like normal, but NOPE ANTIVIRUS VISTA AIN'T HAVING THAT SHIT. Every time I close the window it comes right back up in seconds. Clicking on damn near ANYTHING in the security center brings up the dialog to pay for the upgrade. All options are greyed out and trying to access any facet of window's security brings me to the Antivirus center.

The only thing I can do right now is ignore the offending windows (all three of them) and quietly try to ignore them... which works for about an hour or so, until it puts focus back on itself or something and interrupts my gaming once again.

I need some help disabling the software or doing SOMETHING to keep it from pestering me. For the service it claims to intend to provide, I have never encountered a virus as obnoxious and persistent as this digital snake oil Vista's trying to push on me.

Also, if anyone else is having this problem, or knows of it and has relevant links, I'd like to know of them.
