No. not-defendnot only disables an existing installation of defendnot.
Nope! not-defendnot works perfectly without needing admin privileges.
Whenever defendnot is installed on a system, it provides persistence by scheduling a task in Task Scheduler. This task is not protected from outside tampering.
not-defendnot hunts down this task and deletes it. The actual defendnot code is untouched, but rebooting the system should remove the effects.
Once Windows Defender has been freed by not-defendnot, it will proceed to attack the original defendnot files and finish the job off.
not-defendnot will produce an error and gracefully exit. Your system will be unharmed.
Absolutely! Malware can abuse defendnot to suppress your system's antivirus. not-defendnot reverses this, allowing your antivirus to destroy the infection. It does not usually help with other defense suppression techniques and malware that doesn't suppress your antivirus.
If you disabled your computer's antivirus manually, then this program cannot fix that.
