    What if you don't fancy the constant performance overhead for something unlikely to ever help you?

    Just use an anti-virus product that doesn't eat up that much performance. Or set up your anti-virus product to not eat up that much performance...

    giving in to the nagging makes the warning go away alright, but it does not 'disable' it. :)
