    Shutting Down Windows Defender for good.

    I need to shut off Windows Defender for good.

    I can't have two softwares doing the same job twice, been using Norton since 2000/1 and continue to use it. I need to have Windows Defender shut down for good.

    Any suggestions?

    Windows Defender problem

    Hi Ernst,

    To troubleshoot this issue, we suggest that you check the Windows Defender service if it's running. If you are using a third party spyware/malware program, it may disable the Windows Defender service. To do this, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R key.
    • Type services.msc.
    • Right-click Windows Defender service and click
      Start.

    Let us know the result.
