Angry Windows Defender- ugh
Ok. Here's another 1. Windows Defender. Any suggestions on how to PERMANENTLY remove this POS? Trying to install McAfee and once again- another problem. I really appreciate any help. I am a dummy at this! Do they have a Vista for Dummies book out yet?!

In Control Panel, Admin Tools, Services, Windows Defender...click it open and from "Automatic" choose "disabled" and then "apply" and "ok."
