How to do......

I recently got an old computer that runs Windows Vista and it says that avast antivirus is no longer compatible with the Windows Security Center. I searched every where to get rid of the software only to find out that I don't even have it. Would reinstalling another antivirus software like Microsoft Security Essentials get rid of the message? I think it would right?

    Try installing Microsoft Security Essentials, it works on Vista and may remove the prompt, but make sure you have a legitimate copy of Vista.
