Hobbes_ Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hello all, I've put together a simple script that attempts to disable Windows Defender on Windows 8.1 (will update to 7 later). My only problem is that I have an issue where there is a check box titled "turn on this app" and when I tab over to it, there is no way for me to uncheck that selection. I hope that someone might either find a work around to my method or find a way to make it work. Thank you Disable Windows Defender: REM Author : Hobbes REM Description : Attempts to disable Windows Defender anti-virus. REM Note : Only tested on Windows 8.1 - Windows 7 compatibility unknown.

tinkermake Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 when you tab to it you can use "space bar" to check/uncheck it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB60893 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 You could also just look for the process mssecess.exe and kill the instance of that. Surprisingly, the process isn't persistent like Windows Update is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
