| | Windows Defender Is Windows Defender supposed to be disabled if one has, say, NIS or KIS installed? If so, how does one disable Windows Defender? Or, is it necessary only to change certain settings? |

| | Re: Windows Defender Why do you wish to disable it? Provided any scheduled scanning doesn't coincide with your AV scanning it should be fine.

NIS 2008 install must have done that. I NEVER schedule AV scans. Only run manually. |

If you have enough system resources, I recommend you reenable it. Charlie42 |

In the registry, get rid of all visible references to Symantec and Norton. 3. Enable Windows Defender. 4. Install KIS. But first, I have to read the KIS manual, etc. |
