Re: removing security system

Windows OneCare has been retired. Please download the new Microsoft
Security Essentials: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/[/url]

Also, please visit the new Microsoft Security Essentials Forum:

Re: removing security system

Windows Defender is part of the operating system, and can't be removed,
AFAIK.
OneCare is being deprecated...

in favor of the free MSE...

You might try the OneCare cleanup tool...as mentioned on this page...
