Vista - Defender disabling

I have to install AVG and they mention that Defender should be disabled. I
have Vista Premium and when I searched the Internet for instructions on how
to turn off the Defender, I am told to go to Defender and click on Tools and
then Options and then go to:

Administrator options. Deselect the Use Windows Defender box and press the
Save button.

My Options does not have Administrator Options at bottom (nor Use Windows
Defender box).

My Options has two categories:

Automatic scanning AND
Default actions.

#1- Why don't I see/have "Administrator Options?

#2- And, how can I disable Defender prior to installing AVG?

Thank you.
Alice

Hello Alice,

This can help show you how to turn off Windows Defender.

Windows Defender - On or Off

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks. But as explained in my post, I do not have an "Administrator Options"
at the bottom on (Defender) "Options."

Did you notice the slider button for scrolling the window at the right
side of your Defender Options Window? Scroll down.

Hi Alice,

You do, but as Dave mentioned, you just need to scroll down to it.

Dump AVG and use an anti-virus solution which does not require that you turn
off or uninstall competing products. I would suggest Avira..

There is no malware solution produced that can properly protect all by
itself, regardless of any claims..

Avira is great... except for the "nag screen" which is easily removed.

One big advantage of the most recent version is that it includes real
time malware protection.

Nag screen (and splash screen) removal:

Do you have an administrator account?
If yes, probably try creating a new user account and then try disabling defender.

My Options does not have Administrator Options at bottom (nor Use WindowsYes, you do. Look to the extreme RIGHT. See the up/down slide ? Use it and
scroll down, all the way down.
