first of all - all you need to do is in the tools/options/ Choose when
Windows Defender should notify you about
and uncheck Software that has not been classified yet for risks
Click "Save" and you should not see this message again
you really should not disable WD. It works fine with other
antispyware ( I have 5 running) and 1 running along side its
residential shield (avg antispyware) with NO problems.
I have been beta testing WD since conception and although it is not
the best antispyware out there (actually none of them are the "best"
because if there was a best there would be no need for any other ones)
it still is a good weapon to have as a compliment to others.

People should do what they are comfortable with. If you have a malware
solution that works for you why not disable Windows Defender? Microsoft
likes to tell us about all these things we "should do". I never listen
and have never had serious problems (except for the time when the
predecessor to Windows Defender Giant Antispyware locked up during
install and corrupted my registry...
Of course if you have a huge amount of system resources you do not use
then being extrely reduntant on the protection side of things may be
better than doing nothing.
I have been running the same anti-spyware (and now also anti virus in the
same package) for years. I have not seen one piece of malware or browser
hi-jack for at least three years. From time to time I run an on-line scan
(those are good!) to see if my prefered solution has failed. I have also
tried Windows Defender and others from time to time to doublecheck the
efficiency of what I am running. No problems at all.
So again, you "should do" what you think is right for you, not what
someone else says that you..errm.."should do"
