I sometimes think about disabling defender I think theres a site that can do it. Downside is it'll probably break windows but yeah it annoys me it's always wasting my battery plus yeah it throws fits over things like cracks
Last time I was mad enough to think about this it wasn't even a crack it was Autohotkey it didn't like.
Only virus I ever got was pespaces back in the 95 days it was a hard mess to clean up mainly because it infected every single exe file and broke a lot of them.
Kinda remember cleaning it up from a dos floppy then once clean basically reinstalling every broken program one at a time.
In hindsight I should have just done a fresh install but I was new to computers.
