McAfee vs Defender
Hi. I have a question. I just installed a new 2009 McAfee virusscan on my computer. However every time I turn my computer on I get a Windows Defender message saying

Application failed to initalize 0x800106ba. A problem caused this service to stop.

It's getting really annoying, and I'm assuming my McAfee is causing this to happen. How can I disable my Windows Defender, so I don't get pestered by this annoying window every time I turn on my computer?

Just uninstall windows defender if you really don't need it. This software isn't really upto the mark in detecting spyware programs. If you want to have spyware protection, I would recommend super antispyware free or professional. Infact many of us do recommend this out here.
