It is not advisible to disable the Automatic update. Before Windows installs important updates as they become available, select the automatic update. The significant updates provide significant benefits such as improved security and reliability. You can also set Windows to automatically install recommended updates, which may involve non-critical issues and help you better use of the computer. The Optional updates and Microsoft updates are not downloaded or installed automatically.

Right-click on the Windows Security Alert icon → Open the Security Center. Since the Windows Security Center, click Change the way Security Center Alerts me. A new window opens and Windows asks you a simple question: Would you like to be notified about security issues.

Three answers are offered:

1. Yes, notify me and display the icon (recommended).
2. Do not warn me, but display the icon.
3. Do not warn me and not display the icon (not recommended)

Your goal is to remove the icon "Windows Security Alert", then select the answer No. 3 and the icon disappears immediately from the taskbar.

Avast Home is free to request a registration key sent by mail. The activation key does not expire, but the updates are available for 14 months. After this period, it is necessary to register again. This is the procedure in pictures! Do not panic if this happens, the solution is simple and fast I put 2 minutes, watch in hand.

Using the automatic updates, there will be no need to search for the windows updates online or worry about the critical Windows patches that could possibly default on the computer. Since windows will automatically search for updates to the latest for your computer. According to the Windows Update settings you choose, Windows can install updates automatically or notify you of their availability. Why are you so afraid of the windows update it is good for your PC.

You will have to go to Start -> control panel -> security center -> automatic updates -> turn off automatic updates. Although it is always wise to obtain an original OS that copies (such as checking) give headaches. Removing the update icon is not beneficial for your system so i would recommend you to simply turn off the updates.
