  Original title: uninstall Windows Defender...

  I am running Windows XP, Vista or 7. I downloaded Windows Defender on the MS site some time ago, but now I want it out for GOOD.  Can I uninstall anything else on my list of programs except Windows Defender. When I asked him to remove the program, he said: I am running in SafeMode (no) or my Windows Installer is not installed properly (not). How can I get it my computer?  I put it there, I should be able to take off, it shouldn't I?  I wouldn't be able to decide what is on my own computer and what isn't?

• Uninstall Windows defender?

  The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor recommends that I have uninstall Windows defender.  Everything I read says it's impossible.  Can anyone help?  (I'm running Vista on a 32-bit computer)

  You can turn it off. Use this tutorial if this is what you need to do...

  Have you used the Windows 7 upgrade notice?

  It is strange to hear that the Advisory Committee has been asking you to "Uninstall" Windows Defender.

  It makes no sense because Windows 7 has also integrated as part of the operating system Windows Defender.

  How can I use Windows Defender to scan an individual file in Windows 7?

  To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible.

  A cheap substitute, albeit rather inconvenient, is to use a personalized analysis on the folder containing the file of interest.  Go to Windows Defender-> custom scan and then select the folder in the pop up dialog box.
