• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Is it worth...

Absolutely, without a doubt turn OFF defender. Just make sure you have a decent av program running and you should have nothing to worry about. If it's frame rate increases you're looking for, check out Nick N's threads over at avsim, et. al. The guy's a genius when it comes to making your 'puter purr.:woot:
 
windows defender is absolutely worthless. if you are relying on that to protect your system, you are woefully under protected. do turn it off, and get some real software that will properly do the job. and if you want to boost a few frames, use alacrity pc to shut down the crap you don't need operating in the background and defrag your ram.
 
I can't find the exe to start it.
I looked in Programs and didn't see it. Any idea where I can find it?
 
It ain't there ......... that I can find. I keep seeing Defender this and Defender that while getting updates. I'm running the latest updated XP and I can't find that.
 
I did Ctrl/alt/Del and turned it off in "Services".

I reckon it gave me a slight increase.

XP does not have "Windows Defender" which is why you can't find a control panel. I'm not sure what other software has "defender" in the name that is showing up in your updates.
