Need to remove windefend and updates from win 8

[Losetheupdates]

Ok, like the title says, I need to remove the following keys from my computer.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend\Security]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv\Parameters]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv\Security]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv\TriggerInfo]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv\TriggerInfo\1]

I understand the you should not do this yada yada. I never update windows and never have any issues the issues only start when updates start, I usually delete these keys or similiar on win 7 or lower versions. This windows 8 is giving me grief when I try and delete. I have just gotten this new windows 8 machine and want to keep it running like new. Just like my other machines which have updates turned off and I am running the same install for 4 years cause I never update. (without and virus issues) just do not click on crap and stay away from shady sites.

Also with windows 8 I want to get rid of the customer experience improvement program driver service and registry key as well as the service drivers reg key for smart screen.

I can follow any direction that you give me, and when these task are completed a 10 dollar donation for your time will be made. Thanks.

Hello,


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.


Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Update I was able to delete the update key with otl. I now need to remove windefend and the customer experience and smart screen.

Look here for Windows Defender

From the site...........
Unfortunately, Windows Defender is completely built into Windows, and you’re not going to actually uninstall it.

Surely there is a way, I have disabled it already and pertly uninstalled it. I suppose I will need to delete it via linux How about the other items can you help?

 

[Losetheupdates]

I guess what I am asking is can you help me id what I need to delete concerning the smart screen and customer experience programs


ie the services.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]
