hpg3 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 How do I turn off Windows Defender ? Windows 7 Home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hey........... Open up Windows Defender by hitting start, typing “defender,” and then clicking “Windows Defender.” Switch to the “Tools” page on the menu, and then click the “Options” link. Switch to the “Administrator” tab in the left-hand pane, and then toggle the “Use this program” check box however you want. https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/6397-windows-defender-turn-off.html Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baker7 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi Guys: If you are using Windows 10: You will have to do it a little different, as all this has changed. I will post these instructions in a separate Thread Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Brian ..... the last part of his post "W7" !! Chuck But i did give him a link to Windows 7 forums !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baker7 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Chuck: I understand: However, I will have to post the way that you do that in Windows 10 - Because the Windows 10 Fall Creators update makes it hard to turn something OFF in the event you have a VIRUS, and need to run Malware removal tools: You have to also disable Windows Smartscreen, because without that, you cant even RUN some of these tools that may be needed, so I figured I would add a post for doing this on Windows 10 Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Excellent Brian !! Oh by the way i have never had any problems running these tools or any other Malware Program, never had to advise user to disable Windows smart screen ever ! None ! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hpg3 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Since I have Norton and the free version of Malware , will they effect each other ? Chuck, that link was great, I put it in my favorites list so I can always get help. Edited January 8, 2018 by hpg3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
