Vista tip: How to Disable Automatic Windows Defender and Speed up Your Computer
By Detector | 06 April 2009
Windows Defender – built-in malware protector from Microsoft is very poor at protecting your computer from external threats. You are much better off using a 3rd-party software program for total protection like XoftSpy or other antivirus program.
Disabling Automatic Windows Defender will just improve your Windows Vista performance and speed up your computer.
To disable:
- Click the Start button
- Type “services” into the Start Search box
- Find Windows Defender in the list of programs
- Double-click on Windows Defender
- Choose Tools from the top menu
- Select Options
- Uncheck Auto Start at the bottom of the window
