No, he's not slow down your computer. Maybe he's still there, but it
is not running. AVG, it turns off because it is duplicate that AVG made.
and personally I don't like Vista... and just discovered another reason why? So, since I'm NOT under the "Vista" operating system anymore and am running Windows 7, I would like to program Windows Defender removed.
With two versions of Windows, AVG will shut down Defender and the only
advantage of the deletion, it would be to save a small Mount of disk space.
And as a part of Windows, you cannot delete it.

Hello again,
Another reason for not getting answers in due time, it's that you post in the wrong forum in "answers". This should really be posted in this forum...
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/Forum/Messenger
.. because Windows live call is part of messenger. By posting your question in the wrong forum you not reach the largest selection of possible contributors, perhaps even eliminate everyone with the appropriate knowledge.
You have already been informed of the connection of Windows live call with messenger by Srinivas KR in your original question.
In short, most of the lack of response, you have found is down to your own lack of knowledge about the best way to get results. If you want to use a new tool, it is always a good idea to do some research before you use it so that you can get the best out of it. "Answers" are your information tool and will make you much better work for you if you are reading this...
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/page/FAQ
.. .in conjunction with the link I gave in another of your questions.
That said...
It doesn't seem like Messenger have the ability to disable this option. Editing the registry appears as a possible solution. Editing the registry when done incorrectly can have serious detrimental effects on your system. Do so at your own risk. I can say that I followed the instructions here...
http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-remove-Windows-Live-call-entry-from-new-ShellNew-menu/
.. .and they worked on my PC.
Of course, if you do not use Messenger, you could just uninstall as advised previously by Srinivas KR.

How to remove Windows Defender from Vista?
Anyone know how to remove Windows Defender? It is not on the list of programs that can be uninstalled. When I try to remove it from the tree, I get a message that only a "TrustedInstaller" can remove it.
It's been nothing but trouble I got my new PC in August. I spent in Avast and MalwareBytes, but I can't stop the system to get scans in tenacious Defender. I wanted to get rid of it because it will not update install. It keeps telling me that there are updates available, but the progress bar comes in with a small piece of the execution and the stalls.
Updates Windows continues to tell me it is another Defender update available and also stops at install.
Looks like Microsoft could do a better job of coordinating its products. I'm ready to throw the new computer and become a ludites.
Help!
I uninstall Norton before that I installed Avast. I went to 'Services' and 'arrested' Defender. Then I went to 'Properties' and 'Disabled' Defender. This should at least stop notifications. You can't repeat to you, I got it.

Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-downloadAvast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.aspAlso get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.I hope this helps.

I appreciate sincerely any help for this.You are running Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee?
If you run one of those, she didn't have Defender. It's
good, not bad. Not only is there potential conflict, but there is no
reason to have both; essentially, they have something very similar
for the Defender integrated and running both at once will hurt your
