CrossLoop - free secure screen sharing
You may want to take a look at Croosloops if you are looking for an efficient, easy and free way to connect securely to a computer at another physical location so that you can take control of its screen, mouse and keyboard remotely.
CrossLoop enables you to see the screen and control the mouse and keyboard on a remote computer using an encrypted connection using the Blowfish 128-bit algorithm.Explicit permission has to be granted before the connection can be established. It is in this regard very similar to Teamviewer which lets you do pretty much the same thing.
All that needs to be done is download the CrossLoop application and run it on your system and on the target system that you want to control remotely.
The host, that is the computer that sends it screens to the other computer, has to setup an access code and the computer that wants to join has to enter that access code to establish the connection to the host computer. A random access code is generated when you click on the Host tab.
This works well even if the computers are secured with a firewall or other means of protection, and requires no configuration that you have to work your way through to get started.Routers do not have to be configured as well, just run and connect.
Requirements are that both computers run Windows 98 or later and have at least 128 MB of Ram and 2 MB of hard drive space. Found this great tool at the donation coder blog.
The Screen Sharing software and Remote Access software that CrossLoop makes available is still available for free. The free versions are limited in some regards, file transfers are limited for instance and users do not get unlimited remote access to customers as well. It is sufficient though for home use, for instance when you need to troubleshoot the PC of your parents or friends.
The difference between screen sharing and remote access is that you only get to watch the host screen while you get options to access it directly if you are using the remote access program.

Does it come back after every “moment” update?
Yeah right.. Like this is going to stop defender from running =) This is comedy gold right here.
no ‘about the author’ paragraph?
For permanent disable defender is if removed complete from system no just change permission folder.
Just this is joke.
simpler, load Autoruns (SysInternals)
– filter “Defender”
– untag all entries
– reboot
nothing has changed since my 1st modification years ago
I wouldn’t disable Defender imho, it has too many hidden roots inside Windows itself. One time I tried to uninstall it using brute force scripts and then the Onedrive feature stopped working definitely. A reinstallation was needed and since those times I prefer to maintain Defender untouched. It’s a better method to install another antivirus and it will disable Defender in a safer and easier mode (e.g., Avast is the best in this way, and also Panda Cloud Free is good too).
You can not stop defender from running in background or remove it without some penalty. All you can do is to limit telemetry.
@borts,
It’s probably Smartscreen which is preventing WD from being disabled. Get rid of that and the problem should be solved: https://thegeekpage.com/disable-windows-defender-smartscreen/#How_to_disable_the_Windows_Defender_SmartScreen_via_Local_Group_Policy_Editor
Remove Windows and go for Linux.
Linux sucks dude. Besides it’s not comparable to Windows, these OSes are in different classes entirely.
I use Linux as my daily driver. It’s far more stable than Windows. When’s the last time you used Linux, 2010?
@basingstoke
You’re right, dude. Bro, linux is just a bunch of code that starts before the OS, dude. Brobrodude, that shit ain’t even got emojis, dudebrodudeman! Dudebro, it’s no way near as cool as Windows with its hardcoded abilities to make money off the user, bro. Yo brodude man, you’re the coolest dude ever man, bro. Dude.
Lol what? Windows 7 doesn’t come with any Emojis
Download Autoruns and remove the checkmark from Windows Defender. It doesn’t remove it, but it will never run. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
Just use “Defender Control”:

it also works on Windows 11 too…
Win Defender, is completly the most succesful free-built in antivirus of Microsoft. Really nice product. Saved my ass a lot of times. Has updated malware database, completly strong defence
from whatever smart screen disables. Or if you want better and more upgrated (paid) program,
you can go further. But defender is always on your side.
Why would one disable Windows (or Microsoft) Defender in the first place?. I consider this to be playing with fire big time. Everybody knows that if one is using another A-V, Defender will be disabled on its own and won’t be in one’s way.
Why would I want to disable Windows Defender in the first place? It’s a great anti virus in my opinion. Been using it since Windows 8 and and never had a problem or a virus. Why mess with a good thing, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
How a ridiculous article!
I am thoroughly stunned.
Why Should You Disable First-Party Windows Defender?
I can only think that it is “malice or perversely intention (want you to buy a third-party AV where you can expect a back margin)” to guide invalidation without showing the premise.
No sane company will use third-party closed source programs (such as AV).
As I thought, “Ghacks Technology News” seems to be coming to downfall.
