    um i dont now wat defender you are using but its a bag of sh*t it dosent do any thing msconfig dont do and it doesent do half the stuff msconfig does and it only gives you the options it wants you to have on some programs it just pesters you from the system tray about stuff you allready know and it takes up memory im curently looking for a way to disable it.also as you cant diable it and you cant add remove it i think that it qualifies as malicious
