Uninstall Windows Defender Beta 2

[Guest]

I am trying to uninstall Windows Defender Beta 2 without success. I used
add/remove programs and it is not listed there. I used the Windows install
clean up and it is not listed there but it is still in the program file and
still opens when I click it but gives me the "definations haven't been
updated" message. I ran the solutions suggested in the knowledge base (a
rather large registry entry looking thing) and Windows Defender Beta 2 is
still there. Can someone tell me how to get rid of it?

I'm sure the experts in the Windows Defender newsgroup can. Please post in
one of the newsgroups specifically set up for the beta (software that isn't
finished and is still in the bug-checking phase) Windows Defender program.
Microsoft.public.windowsxp.general is not one of them.

At least you put in on a test machine and not a pc you reall need eh?
So, just format/reinstall and fix your test pc.
