Posted July 2, 201212 yr FPCH Admin Hello: I am running Microsoft Windows 7 Pro SP1. I do realize the following from the FAQ: Q: Is Microsoft Security Essentials designed to replace Windows Defender? A: No but if you are running Microsoft Security Essentials, you do not need to run Windows Defender. Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to disable Windows Defender in order to manage the PC’s real-time protection, including anti-virus, rootkits, Trojans and spyware. Q: Does installing Microsoft Security Essentials disable Windows Defender A: Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender on Vista and Windows 7 and uninstall it from XP. In some cases, this does not happen automatically. My question is the following: I forgot the file extentions for CP applets and Windows 7 may have changed this anyway, but how do I remove the Windows Defender option from Control Panel? Thoughts, please and thank you. Eric View this thread Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
