Defender Control is a program for Windows that gives you the ability to turn off the built-in Microsoft antivirus. It does not require installation on a computer and features a simple graphical interface. Moreover, the tool may be used to avoid conflicts when installing third-party antivirus solutions, such as Avast.

Goal

Windows Defender is a special component that is integrated into the operating system intended for ensuring overall security. It runs in the background and scans files for viruses. If you have other antiviruses on your PC, problems may arise due to incompatibility issues.

In addition, Windows Defender slows down file transfers when copying from removable media and negatively affects computer performance due to high system resource consumption. With the help of this utility, you can disable the built-in antivirus in one click. At the same time, it does not affect the operation of other software and system components.

Deactivate Windows Defender

After running the executable file, information about the current state of Windows Defender will appear on the screen. It is possible to enable or disable the antivirus by clicking the corresponding button. You are also able to open the Security Center to manage protection settings.
