    How do I turn off Windows Defender


    This Windows Defender keeps popping up everytime I bootup. Kind of annoying (like Windows itself). How do I fix this? Thanks.

    Ummmm, it's popping up and telling you what? It doesn't "pop up" just for the sake of making you miserable.

    Agreed. If it's popping up, it's popping up for a reason. Maybe post back what it says so we can help?
