Windows seems to have installed this "Windows Defender" and enabled it automatically. It didn't give me any option; in fact, until I noticed AVG wasn't working properly, I didn't even know it was there. No matter how many times I disable it, it will not stay disabled; and I cannot re-enable AVG, no matter how many times I have tried. AVG is now not scanning or updating. Please help me get rid of Windows Defender.
Sharla, Windows Defender is a software product that attempts to detect and remove malware. It was first released as a free antispyware program download for WindowsXP, shipped with Windows Vista and Windows 7 and made into a full antivirus program replacing Microsoft Security Essentials as part of Windows 8 and later versions. If you're using Win 8 or 10 obviously it will conflict with AVG.
