Hi, I have been trying to get rid of Windows Defender definitions and updates from add/remove. It says "this update cannot be removed". I can't even find the program . Just how do I get rid of it?
I have windows xp. What should I do?
Thanks,
cajunbk

Follow the directions in the link below for disabling Defender. You cannot uninstall it in Vista.

Hi Buddy, I thank you for your help. I failed to say I was using windows xp. Before you replyed, I was able to remove windows defender with ccleaner.
Thanks again,

Windows Defender is a must for your PC.

I don't understand why you would even want to uninstall Windows Defender updates unless some how it got infected.
