Rather than remove/uninstall M$ Defender, you could disable it instead. This way, if you don't like the new security system you can uninstall it and then re-enable M$ Defender.

Thanks Paul,


I have turned off anti-virus on the control page of the security system but no good

[1] If it is something that comes with TalkTalk, have you contacted thier technical department?
