Zex Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 MSE - Integrated in Win8 thus you don't need to download it. As for the removing, I think you can't, because the guide posted here doesn't apply for Win8. (Not sure if its safe)That guide is for Windows Defender which is also integrated into the kernel - not for MSE.I'm confident of removing Windows Defender from Windows 8. While it's mere conjecture whether it's safe or unsafe for Windows 8 (as I've not tested it, myself) - it's certainly safe for Windows 7 as per the numerous testimonials till date.And the question now stands, why would anyone remove WinDefender from Win8, if it auto-disables when antivirus/anti-malware software is detected?It's an uneducated myth that Windows Defender auto-disables when antivirus/anti-malware software is detected - it has to be disabled manually.Facts before myths... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_8#SecurityAlas, that's not a fact - that's just a promise (a whitepaper from Microsoft.)Here's the fact - Windows Defender does not disable itself as promised (you may not want to believe it - try it for yourself because you may not like to believe it.)There's always a gap between practical & theory - a wide one.Your posted article is valid, and I have no reason not to believe it, only that it applies only to Windows 7 and lower configs.I haven't seen an article that says Window's 8 WinDefender doesn't turn off automatically. [And this feature is new to Windows 8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger D Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Isn't 32 bit/64 bit support depends on the CPU Processor?Please correct me if i am wrong.If you have installed 32 bit on a 64 bit supported system,wouldn't it say the system type as 32 bit instead of 64 bit.I think that your processor is capable of running 64 bit based OS.Use CPU-Z ,,64-bit Checker or any other tool to check whether your CPU Processor has 64 bit support.Here is the 64-bit Checker Report:Now i'm Confused! :(Your windows is detected as 32bit (x86)Your CPU supports 64bit (x64) operating systems.What OS( Windows 8 x86 or x64) should i Install?[My Laptop was preinstalled with Vista Home Premium 32bit and I am Using now Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted May 13, 2013 Administrator Share Posted May 13, 2013 3GB of RAM is enough for a smooth experience on 64-bit. Even though you can install 64-bit even on 2GB RAM (or even 1GB), but atleast 3GB is required for it to function well I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted May 14, 2013 Administrator Share Posted May 14, 2013 But, AVs, other security softwares in 32bit won't work. Luckily, all these come in 64-bit too these days. :)Other exceptions are drivers, only drivers made for 64-bit will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
