[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1060966, member: 32260"] If one must disable Defender temporarily without breaking anything, then the best option is DefenderControl (Sordum.org). It is detected by Microsoft as malware (because the attackers can use it too), so one must make an exclusion (and remove the exclusion after enabling Defender). The Defender Remover is an advanced tool. I do not know much about it and I do not know how reliable it is. It can disable Defender only with the "Y" option (old method which can break Windows Updates/UWP in some versions of Windows - it removes files and unregisters classes). I would not use it because there is no safe way to restore the Defender after this tweak. Other options (marked by the author as safe) do not really disable Microsoft Defender, because all Defender's services will still run. Anyway, the Microsoft Defender probably will not work normally because the tool can successfully add several registry entries and rename some important folders ([B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]except one marked in red[/COLOR][/B]): The tool uses PowerRun (Sordum.org) program to get TristedInstaller privileges.
