Fucking Vista! I need a little help.

I got a sweet desktop tonight and it's running Vista 64 bit. I HAAAATE THIS O/S!! Is there any way to turn off/disable/delete Windows Defender? Also, I'm tired of this computer askingme for verifacation on everything I do! (Are you sure you want to do this? This program needs permission....) I want to go back to XP PRO! Thanks for any help!

Yes you can turn use account control on and off in the accounts setting. Dont think you can delete defender. I use avg antivirus and defender and have NO issue what so ever. Surf porn and 4chan and all kinds of shit that will take me to jail!

Big help for me was to go to "Start"
Go to "Help and Support"

At the top of the screen is a dialog box
Type your question ie; "how to turn off windows defender"
Follow the link that best suits your need

Vista is very easy once you use it for a couple days

Windows 7 = Vista SP2.

But it's not called Vista because Vista is a "tainted" brand name.

I have seen this comment on MANY of the tech mails I receive.

Here is one of gajillions...

Quick comment from it..

If you're hoping that Windows 7 will bring dramatic changes to Windows, you may well be disappointed. More and more evidence shows that Windows 7 may only be the equivalent of a Vista SP2.
