No dramas.
All the best.
Geez Mate....
No Dramas huh? Looks like they've rewritten the Manual, and the specification sheet for Windows Defender. No worries though, I'll just set to and do what I need to do, to keep a stable setup. And you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be creating Restore Points, left, right and centre, each step of the way.
One thought that has crossed my mind.......with WLOC currently still installed and active, is it possible in the meantime to save all the Windows Defender updates that I've missed for the past two years, to my Desktop, and have them ready to run as soon as I've uninstalled WLOC and reactivated Windows Defender?
Or do I need to have Windows Defender active and running before checking for updates? I'm thinking here of the 'anti-virus, malware etc.' conflict issues.
Thanks for input.
