Hello Puzzeld,

Windows Defender is a anti-malware program that is a built-in feature of Vista and cannot be uninstalled. I would recommend to leave it running since it can help protect you and will not hurt anything to do so. However, if you still wanted to, you can turn off Windows Defender.


This will help show you other methods of accessing and changing your startup programs in Vista though.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Brink,thanks for your help an tips.
Yes i have Windows Defender turned off,i prefer not to use it as i don't trust it,i feel it protects Microsoft not your PC,on basic installation.
Yes so it's part Vista thought so, i use Kaspersky Internet Security it's great.
