Start>Control Panel>Security Center>click on "Automatic Updates" under Manage
Security Settings and select turn off updates. However, I recommend setting
"Notify me but don't automatically download or install updates" because if you
turn it off entirely you'll have that annoying security icon permanently on
your taskbar to remind you that you're disobeying Oz the Great and Powerful.

That icon (notification) can be turned off as well. In security center click
on change the way security center alerts me. Uncheck auto-updates.
