I'm not techie enough for that. Any idea how to remove or disable Windows
Defender?



Simply install another AV program. That will disable (not remove)
Defender.

No, it doesn't work that way. I downloaded Malwarebytes and it did not
disable Windows Defender.


Malwarebytes disables Windows Defender on first instal.
MWB installs the full version as a trial then reverts to an on demand
scanner.
I had to manually re-enable Windows Defender after the trial ended.
