To disable the Office 2010 Upload Center you can run msconfig, click Startup and remove the check next to “Microsoft Office 2010” that references MSOSYNC.EXE.
Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 (or whatever your program files folder is) and rename MSOUC.exe and MSOSYNC.exe into something non-execeutable (e.g. MSOUC.exe-original and MSOSYNC.exe-original).
Open regedit > Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run > Delete the entry for MSOSYNC.
Use Autoruns to disable use of MSOSYNC (HKCU\Software|microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OfficeSyncProcess) at the boot time
