Click small icon on bottom right

setting->realtime protection-> and have box unchecked

No point in doing that. You can disable for some program if you want.

BUT, unless it is from a reliable big company, doing so will probably get you infected.

Should you turn off defender to install nortons?

Just to be on the safe side...yes you should turn windows defender off. The reason is because windows defender is comprised of three (3) programs. A anti virus, anti spy ware and anti maleware. In addition you cannot have two (2) anti virus programs running at the same time. They will conflict with each other and cause numerous windows errors. Furthermore If you are installing more protection I must assume you are not happy with defender? I suggest a little more research you'll find your later choice isn't all that good. Hope this helps
