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.
you go to start--->control panel----->windows defender and you go to settings and turn on.

If McAfee Security Suite has an anti spyware component then you will not need windows defender
Go to control panel and do security click there.
Check that in Windows Security Center
Click Startmenu/flag button, search for and run Windows Defender Settings.
The Microsoft Corporation created windows defender. They named it windows defender because they also made the windows operating system.
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
Windows Defender was created on 2006-10-24.
Windows Defender is a software which is from Microsoft. Specifically, it is anti-spyware software, which protects your computer from spyware and malware infections. In Windows 8, Windows Defender has been upgraded to an antivirus.
