I'm sorry, I had absolutely no idea where to put this question when it came to the sections.

I am trying to kill the WinDefend service. I already have security covered, and by the looks of it Windows Defender is, well, garbage. It is just a waste of what little system resources I have. I probably sound like a mean person, but my past experiences with MS have been horrible and they have not done their job, and I would like a real answer. Knowing as much as I do about computers, I know it isn't impossible to somehow disable that task. I would like to DISABLE it, not turn it off. You know, using services.msc to actually disable the WinDefend process.

Again, sorry for being so rude about it, but I don't want Microsoft's typical "But it keeps you safe!" or "Just turn it off in the Control Panel" answers. I have been able to disable the process by renaming the folders for Windows Defender with a Linux live USB during the Developer Preview stages of Windows 8, but I can't do that on Windows 8.1.

Thank you very much. :)
