Windows security center pop up

Hi There

I wonder if anyone could help me? I have the most annoying windows security center pop up (about 500x600 pixels) appearing on my screen every few minutes telling me that I have no virus protection ( I have ) and asking me to go along to a choice of two paid for virus protection program retailers, one of which caused no end of trouble with a machine recently.

I did consent to this, did not ask for it and nor do I want it but I cannot find a way of removing it from my machine.

I have opened the security center and changed the way it notifies me to no avail. I have also ran START>RUN>SERVICES.MSC and disabled the security center - no joy there either.

Can anyone help me please I am not very technically minded at all, just extremely frustrated.

Thanking you,
Mark
