Windows Defender

At every Windows update there is an "important" update for Windows Defender. I always ignore it, but am wondering what use is it since I have KISS?
Should I remove it or can I?

Thanks,
Jerry

 

You can safely disable Windows defender as described here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...on-off#turn-windows-defender-on-off=windows-7

Thanks, I wonder if Defender conflicts with an AV?
Anyway I turned it off.
Thanks, again,
Jerry

 

I guess it doesn't conflict with AV, otherwise it would probably get disabled during KIS installation. Some AVs disable it when they are installed. It looks like KIS doesn't do it.

I would disable it. It will slow your machine with no benefit.

 

Done, thanks for the help.
