| | Re: Windows Defender and Anti-Virus NOD32 is also antispyware: http://www.eset.com/products/nod32.php I did managed to disable Windows Defender going to >> Administrative Tools >> Services >> then right click in Windows Defender service and disable it, but I like to be able to remove it like with any other software.
