Hello. My name is Sanjay Patel, and I currently hold an honorary Master's degree in the field of Computer Science. I am aware of, and have personal knowledge related to your question. There are computer maintenance businesses which are probably in your area, however they come at the cost of hiring a professional to enter your home. There may also be some local destinations where you can drop off your computer and wait to have a technician look at it. These options can often be costly, and pretty inconvenient. The answer to this question can probably be found doing a little extra research on Google.
A well-running computer can be a hard thing to maintain. From my experience, there is but only One software which is reputable- and consistently reliable for healing sick, slow computers. Reimage™ - https://reimagefix.im/ is a world-renown, easy to use software designed by Forensic scientists and made for the average person. This thing will fix literally just about ANY problem you could possibly be having with your PC. Reimage was recommended to me by a Professor during my 2nd year of Graduate school

If you're talking about Windows Defender, the built-in anti-spyware and anti-virus that comes with Windows 7, go to Control Panel > Windows Defender, then click on Tools, then Options, then Real Time Protection, and uncheck the Use Real-Time Protection box.

If you are referring to Windows Defender, you should not run Windows Defender and other anti-virus on your PC at the same time.

I just used https://reimagefix.im/ mentioned by that Sanjay guy on here and it 100% fixed my issue. I was having lots of kinds of issues that were completely irritating my gf to death. This pc had viruses, spyware, error messages, hardware problems, and the machine would often crash or freeze on me. I believe the worst problem to me was how SLOW and laggy it became. So just when I was about to replace with it, and waste money on a new computer...I find this. Good.
