Remove Windows Defender security system in my HPXT249EA

I have the above computer which my ISP is Virgin Media cable.  The Action Center tells me that I'm under Virgin Media security Anti-Spyware and Windows Defender.  It is said to run two programs at the same time can slow down your computer.

Unfortunately, I can't find the Windows Defender program to remove it.  I open the programs and features page of the Control Panel, and I'm not sure that I have Windows Defender.  Any help to find/identify what program gives me Windows Defender would be appreciated.  I'm not in my first youthful glow!

Thank you very much

Hello

Another way to disable Windows Defender is as follows.

Open windows control panel, open administrative tools, and then open Services.  To the bottom of the list, you should see an entry for Windows Defender, cela a right click and select Properties.  In the properties windows use the drop-down list next to startup type select disabled, and then click apply and then Ok to save the setting.

Restart the PC for this change to take effect.

Kind regards

  • 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.

    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.

  • How to remove windows xp security updates installed automatically

    recently, I installed windows xp. The system has automatically downloaded and installed from many windows xp security updates, which slowed the system. also, how open internet browser like IE8/Google chrome/Firefox, the system crashes, but the system speeds up after a while. I always find AVG antivirus free edition is updated at the start of the system upward during which the problem above. can you suggest how to fix it?

    Chances are, AVG is you slow down because it downloads the latest anti-virus definition files and will then scan your computer. You can set how often you want these updates. Personally I have mine to search every day and will take the hit on his speed to get the latest definition files. Depending on how your system is configured, it will also look at the updates for other programs / Windows as well and download.

    I hope this helps.
