Turn off Windows Defender in Windows 8

[javajolt]

Windows Defender anti malware directly integrated into the system and antivirus Security essentials offered through Windows Update and already number one in the U.S. , Microsoft reached a new milestone in pre-installing a solution against viruses. It would have been more logical to integrate directly Security Essentials but it is a roundabout way Microsoft has chosen by modifying the Windows Defender
anti-malware for it to detect and block viruses.

There is little doubt that Defender offers the same level of protection as Security Essentials, but there are a few feature differences in the Defender software itself..in the end its a free anti-virus software available for a couple of years.
 


But even Microsoft has been making it to protect computers from any malwares,viruses its still not that good for that ...users need some antiviruses.
 
In this tutorials i will show you how Turn Windows Defender in windows 8 if you installed an other anti-Virus.
 
From Control panel  click on Windows Defender



Windows Defender window will open the click on Setting tab then select Administrator and uncheck the box Turn on windows Defender



Windows Defender has been turned off
 


Your Windows Defender had been disabled. DONE

In Windows 7 the Defender was only a protection against spyware.
MSE (Microsoft security essentials) was the virus scanner.

In Windows 8 MSE should be integrated into Defender.
So: Is disabling Defender in Windows 8 turning off also the integrated virus scanner?

The text in Defender says only:

When this check box is selected, Windows Defender will alert all users if spyware or other potentially unwanted software attempts to run or install itself on this PC.
