that link came from

click on "Launch Instant Support". That's where that quote came from... I
found in there somewhere... it may refer to XP...
I don't think you can remove Defender from Vista, but you can disable it.
I just found this...

"Let me try and clarify - if Windows Defender is installed on a machine and
then OneCare v1.5 is installed afterward, by default the installation will
disable Windows Defender. Windows Defender will then display a dialog
indicating that it has been disabled, and asking if the user wants to turn
it on again. When you are installing OneCare v1.5 you should close this
dialog without re-enabling Defender. OneCare intentionally disables Defender
because it can cause system instability to have both running at the same
time, and since OneCare is a superset of Defender, there is no reason you
would need both of them running.
A number of folks have also asked why OneCare disables Windows Defender
rather than simply removing it. Two reasons: First, Windows Defender is part
of the Windows Vista operating system and cannot be uninstalled, it can only
be disabled. Second, if for any reason a user uninstalls OneCare, we will
automatically turn Windows Defender back on to help keep users protected
against spyware. "

" Windows Defender was integrated into Windows Live OneCare. We recommend
that you remove Windows Defender before installing Windows Live OneCare."

Dave, was the link above to a place to remove W.Defender?
