Since Vista,Windows Defender is included with Windows . It’s a small piece of software that runs in the background to help protect ,your computer from malware (malicious software) like viruses, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software. Some spyware protection is better than none, and it’s built in and free! But… if you are already running something that provides great anti-malware protection, defender will probably wasting precious resources , there’s no need to have more than one application running at a time.
The problem with all Defender versions in Windows Vista and above is it’s integrated into the operating system and installs by default with no visible or hidden option to uninstall. Many people are looking for ways to disable or remove it from their system as they prefer to use other software , for example on Windows 8 and 10 you cannot turn off Windows Defender completely anymore , A click on Settings in Windows Defender opens the control panel for the program in the new Windows Settings application. You can turn the program’s real-time protection off temporarily, but if it’s off for a while Windows will turn it back on automatically. It is unclear why Microsoft made the decision to change the behavior of Windows Defender in this regard. What is certain however is that it will annoy users who want to disable it permanently on the computer they are working on. Defender Control is a small Portable freeware which will allow you to disable Windows Defender in Windows 10 completely.

wow! is the only working program that allowed me to completely disable windows defender in one click!
Thank you we have noted it down
Great concept! And I was just about to copy 1 TB of files from one HD to another. Boy, defender would have made a mess of that!
But, I’d like to see the option to temporarily turn it off for a specified time, then back on. I worry that I might get busy and leave it turned off… NOT a good idea!
it seems impossible to make any sordum software open source (Team decision) , maybe later, but all of our software is clean.
yo this app is really good and it seems a little to suspicious to be this good, could yall make it open source? or provide proof its not a rat or bitcoin miner? Thanks
thank you so much bro,
Hello, is it possible how to do something so that it was just a regular .exe file on which I just click and it automatically turns off the defender without 1 clicking on the .exe file?
There are many automation servers for this, such a task is needed, unsubscribe if you can do it. Willing to pay well for your work
So sick of having windows defender just randomly block my apps, 3rd party apps, and other things it just doesn’t like for whatever stupid reasons.
Turn it off it comes right back on & starts deleting random files & programs some of which I made myself & know damn well is not harmful in any way.
I despise Windows Defender! Thank you so much for this awesome little app & I am definitely going to be promoting it on my site soon as well.
great, helps a lot, thanks so much!
volví a descargar y ahora si me deja cambiarlo, muchas gracias 🙂
