Turn off ms security essentials

Huh? I do it with MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware and many other anti-virus software, all the time. Installed but non-running antivirus software is not healthy for the computers or for the software. (I already have several MUCH better anti-virus tools.)

and I don't want it running things at start-up unless I want them. Why do I want this 'behavior'? Because I own my computer. Beside MS will constantly try to re-install it like they did today.

Microsoft Security Essentials automatically installed/ran itself during our last Windows update.
