| | Turning Off Windows Defender Real-Time I now have 2 antispyware programs installed on my computer with one sunning in real-time monitoring. so I have disabled (unchecked) the 'Use real-time protection in Windows Defender options. Yet, Windows defender still runs at startup and is in the msconfig's Startup tab's list. Is this normal? James |
