How to switch off MS Windows Defender / security (Defender defeated) pro Version only

Status
Not open for further replies.
Man you're out there.
This entire thread is the essence of a facepalm.
Why is that? The OP is just disabling Defender without deleting any files. This is just a less destructive method of what I do. I think it's cool. Still going to do it my way by deleting the folders/files. Using the above method is reversible, mine isn't.
For the record, Norton is always the problem.
TRUTH!
 
Hi,
If anything at least we were reminded of the W1zzards work I've never tried it

i can upload a version to clean windows new-install. he made a fantastic work. but this was dedicated for graphiccard issues.
i deleted some lines e.g. remote things or the systemname....

i upload it as a textfile so every1 can look into it by their own

when ure the first time after install on the desk. just activate the adminsitrator account and execute it then. he had everything inside u just want to delete and never see it again

i wrote it in the first lines: it makes no sense having two scanners. and i just made it easy. not every1 had studied IT

i never could write those txtes like wizzard did. i mean i could but it prob would take yrs :eek:

password: 11elf <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< here is the textfile

just change the *.txt ending with *.cmd

i encrypted it cus google is too nosy... its 4,5Kb small
notice: its very european... but not made by me.

Nearly all of the settings in there are not specific to graphics cards. I still don't want people to blindly paste them into their system, so the content is worded the way it is. Plenty of comments in there, so you can pick out the stuff you really want.

thats what i did. and thats the reason its so helpful! its a perfect frame to do what ever is needed to get the right result

and as far as i could see nothing is related to a GPU
:D

i clicked on your links and read everything to evalue whats the most value

@W1zzard

something comes to my mind:
can you maybe write a sequence that prevents MSpaint from being deleted? because that would be quite handy if it stayed because MS only offers paint 3D now. and this it for me in some cases a bread and butter program

or just a hint where i can find it to do myself.

:D:kookoo:

Soo
what im understanding is
A program having a bug IN BETA
is a big deal and means the entire program is terrible??
to me that just shows that windows insider works and says nothing about the antivirus
*Ignore the fact that win defender is not the only thing with bugs just for the fun of it*
FUTHERMORE it means that it can be disabled because otherwise no one would be allowed the build

it is not the beta. its the considered send-out version.
well if u had read all posts and an idea of the meaning you would consider, that the Defender is not off-switchable anymore. in this case thousands of tester are locked out.
this program is just a stockpile of *sht. slows the os , permanent scanning. cannot offswitch, more than 130 single rules to manage (pro only) telemetry until the center of the holy city of BAGDAD, no stable virus database (knowledge) instead u stay "indefected" and the virus will sent to M$ instead... ...enough? or shall i go on?

face the truth! and get a free antivirus program what has deserved its name..

do you have microsoft shares?

in my opinion, don't take it personally, people use this "program" because they simply don't have a clue. they think they are protected because a huge device that cannot be configured scans everything that is not nailed down, but in reality is simply a fake.
whoever -defends- this program in a serious way, i have to deny him technical competence and demote him to a bloody beginner.
not even my 60 year old mother relies on this garbage. because otherwise she would not be allowed to work with her PC because of the insurance protection.

I didn't even have to explain that to her....

think you have nailed your head on the hammer
For someone who does not quite know computers
Windows defender wont cut ti cause they click on somthing they dont know is bad
cant tell you the number of time ive found a old persons computer loaded with viruses and antiviruses all one big slow mess
If you know computers and are a techy then the best thing is commen sence it will beat damn near any antivurs all of the time
and if your douting youself Run it through Virus total
Or malwebrytes
face the truth! and get a free antivirus program what has deserved its name..
Norton - Bloatware
McAfee-Bloatware
Avast - Bloatware
All have rightfully earned there places in this list as bad as viruses
its got to the point where if i see some of those *mcafee* on a system i TREAT it as a virus
Heck they even sneak onto systems with some people not knowing how they got on there
*dont click yes on everything when installing a program*

Bar Malwerebytes i dont know a SINGLE av program that deserves the name
Anti Virus

because u cannot switch it off anymore by windows. it turns on automatically again

otherwise i would not have sit weeks on my seat and tried to find a way to make this above happen
also im fairly certain THIS is because of 3ird party antiviruses
They sneak on becasue people say yes to every section in a installer and then norton is on the PC
Nortons free trail expires but it DISABLED windows defedender and is now useless unless the person manually pushes scan
And No antivurs is much worse then windows defender
This is why It reneables itself now Because microsoft has to assume its been abled by say norton
 
Is this a troll thread or something? Slow weekend?
