Empty Project

Trying to figure out how to get a clean empty project with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

I created a new Empty Project and added a file with this

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    return 0;
}

I turned off debug information and buffer security

But my compiled binary still has a shitload of shit in it and is 49152 bytes large

In IDA I looked to the entry point and the first thing it does is go into a routine to set up buffer security

WTF am I missing?
