[Strip Windows Defender](#strip-windows-defender)\n  - [Disable Windows Defender](#disable-windows-defender)\n  - [Replace Windows Defender](#replace-windows-defender)\n  - [Enable Windows Defender](#enable-windows-defender)\n\n---\n\n## Strip Windows Defender\n\nThis powershell script will use dism and trusted installer privileges to remove defender permanently from the latest Windows 10 and 11 ISO files.\n\n### Additional Options\n\n- Disable TPM and hardware requirements (this is for the actual system image not the install process I recommend using rufus for that)\n- Disable Virtualization-based Security (VBS) and Mitigation Options Includes [Data Execution Prevention, Control Flow Guard, Randomize Memory Allocations, Validate exception chains, Validate Heap Integrity]\n- Strip Bitlocker\n\n\n***Run Script from Console***\n````ps\niwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/DefenderProTools/main/StripDefenderV3.ps1 | iex\n````\n\n\n\n## Disable Windows Defender\n\n***Run Script from Console***\n````ps\niwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/DefenderProTools/main/DisableDefender.ps1 | iex\n````\n\nDue to Microsoft patching all the clever methods of bypassing defender without being in safe mode a brute force approach is required \n- This script will forcibly remove and disable defender registry keys\n  \n- *Since this method does not kill the Antimalware service you may need to run the script again if this service still runs upon rebooting*\n\n\n\n## Replace Windows Defender\n\n***Run Script from Console***\n````ps\niwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/DefenderProTools/main/ReplaceDefender.ps1 | iex\n````\n\nThis script will replace Windows Defender with AVG Antivirus\n  - cleanup AVG shortcuts and context menu\n  - disable the rest of Windows Defender\n  - import minimal settings\n\nAVG is a light weight AV that will provide better protection than Windows Defender\n\n## Enable Windows Defender\n\n***Run Script from Console***\n````ps\niwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/DefenderProTools/main/EnableDefender.ps1 | iex\n````\n\n**NOTE** If you need to run disable defender twice (fe. 24h2) enable defender will not work so its recommended to create a restore point\n\nIf you need to revert Windows Defender this script will restore the registry, services, and scheduled tasks.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzoicware%2Fdefenderprotools","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzoicware%2Fdefenderprotools","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzoicware%2Fdefenderprotools/lists"}
