How can I completely stop Windows Defender?
I have Windows Defender shut off, but it seems to still want to run. I keep getting a pop up from my WinPatrol program that WD wants to run at startup. I click the reject button but it keeps coming back. I fear it could be interfering with Macrium Reflect somehow because today after I clicked "reject" on that WD box, I got a pop up stating that Macrium would no longer run at startup. I definitely need that to run at startup because I added the Macrium Recovery Boot Menu option.
This program is not a necessary program and I should have the option to KILL it completely. Is there a way to do that?
