Disable Win Defender

m4rtt3 commented 1 year ago

Hello, Chris. I've been following your channel for a couple of years now. Sincerely inspiring. Thanks to you and another channel I started using Linux as my main OS and learning a lot of things. Personal digital security and privacy has become an exciting topic. Antivirus has a lot to do with these two topics. I was surprised by this guide and your video.

I am no expert. Although it seems tempting to disable Defender, I wanted to share with you two sources, which you may already know about, but would have been worth referencing.

  1. The Big Antivirus Lie in 2021
  2. Windows Defender is enough, if you harden it
  3. Harden Windows Defender protection to the highest levels on Windows 11/10

Note: I know that the YouTuber in the first source may have a somewhat alarmist touch, but he has been an excellent source on digital privacy issues, especially around reflecting on decisions.

Love your channel, man. Greetings from Colombia.

For the registry file you need to add the following line before the script due to the registry file being unable to be merged: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

reg key doesn't work for me either

I solved it by using another defender disabling reg thing but also discovered this "If you get an error when trying to run the .reg, use PowerRun (some services require the TrustedInstaller privilege in order to be modified, such as Windefend or wuauserv)."
