Windows 10: Iobit Hijacked Windows Defender, The Real Time Protection Option is Inactive, Iobit Strains...

I fin so little on this matter that I'd swear no one cared if Advanced System Care Ultimate 13 hijacks Windows Defender or no. The Realtime Protection Setting is obscured and impossible to access. I'd like to lessen the strain on my RAM/CPU by uninstalling it or turning it off.

Warning-IObit programs

I have recently decided to perform a PC reset as my PC was getting to be really slow and unstable.
Before reset, I made a screen copy of the programs, so that I know what to reinstall.
And so, when the reset was completed, I reinstalled, among other programs, the ff. programs from IObit:

IObit programs:

Advanced SystemCare 10

Driver Booster 4.4

IObit Malware Fighter 5

IObit Uninstaller

I have noticed that the instance I downloaded them, that they have caused my PC to really slow down.
I would notice that when opening file explorer, that it would reset all my icons in the taskbar.
I wanted to just uninstall them, but then I would have to rely on IObit Uninstaller for that.
So then I figured to perform another reset and I didn’t reinstall them anymore.
I also didn’t reinstall Avast Free Anti-virus as it gave me the creeps the first time I reinstalled them, and besides, Windows 10 has a Windows Defender, so that should take care of everything.

So I’m just giving this warning about there IObit programs.
They will give you headaches!
