## What is this project?
2021-07-22 19:29:03 +00:00
We all know that disabling windefender is very difficult since microsoft is constantly enforcing changes.
2021-07-22 19:28:56 +00:00
The first solution is to install an anti-virus - but thats not the point if we are trying to disable it!
2021-07-22 19:26:14 +00:00
The next easiest solution is to use freeware thats already available on the internet - but none of them are native & open source...
I like open source, so I made a safe to use open source defender control.

## What does it do?
1. It gains TrustedInstaller permissions
2. It will disable windefender services + smartscreen
3. It will disable anti-tamper protection
4. It will disable all relevant registries + wmi settings
## Is it safe?
2021-08-08 19:56:59 +00:00
Yes it is safe, feel free to review the code in the repository yourself.
2021-08-08 19:56:52 +00:00
Anti-virus & other programs might flag this as malicious since it disables defender - but feel free to compile it using visual studio.
