Security Essentials is supposed to disable defender upon installation, as do many of the 3rd party antivirus products, FWIW.



Many don't. Go check the Services MMC snap-in. You might have to set it to Disabled, and then turn off the warnings for that.

That's why I said "supposed to", LOL! NOD32 is supposed to do it but often doesn't. I just do start ball -> search field -> Defender -> Enter -> Tools -> Options -> Administrator -> un-check "Use this program"

Problem solved
