Disabling virbr0

I notice there is virbr0 interface on my CentOS Machine. There is no kvm running on this machine so I guess there is no need for this interface.
virbr0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:54:00:56:BD:B2
          inet addr:192.168.122.1  Bcast:192.168.122.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:55 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:9410 (9.1 KiB)
To disable, just do the following:
[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# virsh net-list
Name                 State      Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default              active     yes

[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# virsh net-destroy default
Network default destroyed

[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# virsh net-undefine default
Network default has been undefined

[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# service libvirtd restart

virbr0 is now gone. Verify it by running ifconfig -a
[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# ifconfig
