1. I would just like to turn Windows Defender off so that it does not notify me via the Action Centre (in Win 7) that it "needs to scan my computer".
2. I toggled the registry setting "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsDefender" from "1" to "0" but this was reset to "1" again after the second restart.
3. It seems unnecessary that Avast should enable Windows Defender merely to let it tell users that Windows Defender cannot be accessed. I would like to rid my computer of all Windows Defender activity
4. until such time as I change my antivirus software from Avast to another provider.
Hello!
Point 1: Why should you turn off 'Windows Defender' until Avast didn't do and 'WD' don't harm or
make any trouble?
Point 2: I wouldn't do so, but it's your decision!
Point 3: My meaning: Since 'DF' doesn't make any trouble (
and i support some W7 machines you shouldn't change s.th.!
Point 4: You couldn't really be sure at
finding a better one like avast with it's famous good
forum-support!
