Re: Removing Windows Defender and Microsoft Anti-Spyware



Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for Windows Defender support and comments. This is not one of them.

See http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/newsgroups/default.mspx

Hi,

My campus is in a WinXP environment. We have about 2000 computers on our
campus and all of them are running various versions of Windows Defender and
Microsoft Anti-Spyware. We need to remove all versions of the software from
our campus because of software conflicts and errors that users keep
receiving.

We need to implement this removal through SMS and have been unable to find a
removal tool that removes all versions of Defender or all versions of
Anti-Spyware.

Are there any removal tools that work?

Thank you for your help.
