Yes, I noticed how the Security Center behaves differently on standalone computers vs domain members. My standalone computers are running Panda Antivirus, but I was able to go into the Security Center and tell it that the machine was running antivirus software and would handle its own monitoring. Did this with the Firewall setting, too. Once I'd checked those two flags, Security Center stays in the background and doesn't bug me. (These two machines are at home, so I don't recall the exact steps to change these settings, but I recall it being pretty intuitive.)
