How do I get rid of Downloader.AQ? and this lousy Defender program

[Guest]

When I got a prompt to upgrade from the normal Microsoft antispyware, which
seemed to be working fine, to Defender, I did it, and now it's a nightmare.
Defender tells me I have Downloader.AQ and asks if I want to remove it. Hit
remove and it says I must restart. Hit restart and the computer reboots only
to tell me I have a downloader.aq infection. Why bother identifying
something you can't remove? Why doesn't defender tell me the file name and
location of downloader.aq? How do I get rid of defender and go back to the
previous antispyware program (which defender apparently removed)?

Hi,

use your AV to get rid of it or download Ewido here:

and do a scan!

Windows Defender records, in the System event log, at the time of the scan,
the precise path and filename of each detection.

Do a Start, Run, eventvwr.msc, **click OK**, then click ºn **System**, then
View, then Filter, and scroll down the " event sºurce" control to reach
Windefend, that will give you a view of just Windows Defender-related events.

Look for events with yellow triªngles
