I just read a post on a (slightly) related topic from lemur, which gave me
this idea.

Find the program's "program files" or "program files (x86)" folder and see
if there is an uninstaller in that folder. Run *that* program with elevated
privileges (same as "Run as Administrator"). It should do the job.

If that is what you meant all along, then I didn't manage to get it from
what you said - sorry.

That's what I meant. Even on CMD ( command prompt ) one needs to right
click, click Run as Administrator if one wants to do a System File Check (
sfc ).
OK. Case closed.

Hi, desiree.

HOW are you trying to remove the program?

Please tell us, step by step, what keys you press or click and what messages
you see. Please don't paraphrase, but post the messages verbatim. (You MAY
be able to copy'n'paste the message into your next post.)

In Vista, we normally use Control Panel | Programs and Features, highlight
the application we want to remove, click Uninstall, and let Vista do the
rest. Is that what you are doing? What messages are you seeing? (I'm
using Win7 now and I don't recall at which point Vista asks for
Administrator credentials, even if you are running in an Administrator
account, but that is normal behavior for Vista. Win7 automatically removes
a few of the removable barricades in this process.)

From what you just said, I'm still not sure if you and I are on the same

Only the business versions AFAIK, just like it's only XP Pro that has the
Ctl-Alt-Del log-in...

Open a command window as Administrator, the do the following command:

net user Administrator /active:yes

You should then be able to switch user to the administrator without even
needing to reboot. Of course, you could also reboot and choose that
account.

When you are finished needing the Administrator, you can repeat the above
command, substituting no for yes, to turn it off.

So now you asked the same question again,
and you got the same answers I gave you.

It is time to forget about the now (almost?) defunct Live One Crash.
You cannot remove Windows Defender as it is a integral part of Windows
Vista, you can only turn it off.

Move on to Microsoft Security Essentials, which also includes Windows
Defender.
Personally I would not want to risk my PC to a brand new antivirus
software program and most certainly not to such a Microsoft product.
Maybe in a half year or so, there will be reliable test available,
showing how MSE works in the wild (or not).

But then it is your own choice to test any anitvirus program you like.
