How Do I Remove Anti Malware From Windows?

Published in Windows Security 2 mins read

Disabling Windows Security's real-time protection is one way to temporarily turn off your anti-malware features. Here's how you can do it:

Steps to Disable Real-Time Protection

  1. Open Windows Security: Go to the Start Menu and type "Windows Security". Select the first option that appears.
  2. Navigate to Virus & threat protection: On the sidebar, find and click on "Virus & threat protection".
  3. Access Settings: Under "Virus & threat protection settings", click on the "Manage settings" option.
  4. Disable Real-time protection: Toggle the "Real-time protection" button to the "Off" position.

Note: Disabling real-time protection can leave your system vulnerable to threats. It is generally recommended to keep it enabled for maximum security. Only disable it temporarily when necessary.

This process only disables the real-time protection element of Windows Security and does not completely remove the anti-malware program from your Windows system. For a more complete removal process, you might need to investigate third-party tools or look at uninstall options for alternative anti-malware programs that you may have installed.
