• 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)

  That's right, Windows Defender is part of the Vista operating system. It cannot be uninstalled.

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

  Have you used the Windows 7 upgrade notice?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  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 do we uninstall Windows Defender signatures

  Kaspersky is slow.

  I had already uninstalled defender of windows using Add / Remove programs and it does not appear in this list more, but Kaspersky technical support told me that I also had to uninstall windows defender signatures.

  How this, or check that they are really already uninstalled?

  I don't really see an uninstall issue.

  Hello

  As I said, you can stop Windows Defender from running as shown above. It is up to
  Windows and cannot be uninstalled and there is absolutely no reason to do so since
  When it is not loaded at startup it has no influence on the system. Similarly, the definitions
  do not be uninstalled.

  If you are having problems, it's Kaspersky bringing as usual. Their support is just
  puffing smoke, confusing the issue, rather than admit their questions. BTW Kaspersky
  knows this as well because they say something that they know is incorrect, that means
  either they don't care or simply refuse to admit the real question.

  Bottom line is that if you stop Windows Defender to run or the definitions
  no influence on the system.

  Note: even though I am an MVP, I'm not a Microsoft spokesperson nor I tell
  I do not have to be the truth. Kaspersky is your problem.

  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?

• Microsoft Security Essentials disables Windows Defender in Vista?

  Can error 0x800106ba on any attempt to open code I Defender. I also acquired McAfee at some point, but I uninstalled it hundreds of years ago but I still have the same error message whenever I try to open Windows Defender. Help, please

  It is not fair to McAfee posing problem with the Defender:

  Windows Defender:

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

  Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

  If it's not:

  Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

  Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

  See you soon.

  Hello, just to be sure I have the correct information, Windows Defender lights not in Windows Vista with Microsoft Security Essentials, as Essentials has its own version of the Defender.  The error code I received is the same as the previous posts in which is: 0x800106ba.  Again, just to be sure, I understand, I should stop trying to turn Defender because Security Essentials has covered it, okay?

  Hello

  Yes; Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender for the reasons you mentioned.

  If she didn't turn it off, you should manually have to do it anyway.

  This information explains Microsoft explained:

  Q: is - this installation of Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7) disable Windows Defender?
  A: Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender in Vista and Windows 7, and then uninstall it from XP. In some cases, this does not happen automatically.
   

  Q: what happens if I do not disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7)?
  A: If Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender are both running, your system can know the performance degradation and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time.

  See you soon.
