I'm finally making some progress on getting my PC back up to speed. I downloaded AVG, I don't know how long it took, but it said it would take a few minutes. After eight hours I went to bed and found it had loaded successfully in the morning. Right away It seemed my PC was faster and looking in task manager windows defender anti-virus was no longer showing. Would AVG kick it out like a cuckoo?
I've found it's not possible to uninstall defender, but I've managed to disable windows defender firewall in services, although it won't let me disable other parts of defender (I get the message 'access denied' and the option is 'greyed out'). I have managed to turn off defender periodic scanning.
When I Google 'uninstall defender', the tutorials give different options to those I can access.
Any suggestions as to what else I can do, or should I be happy I've got my PC back up to speed?
