Question Cannot clean WinDefender files ?

[kep55]

I use Norton 360 instead of win defender. For some reason it appear to be running anyway. When I run BleachBit, I get a series of errors like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bleachbit\Command.pyo", line 94, in execute
File "bleachbit\Windows.pyo", line 180, in delete_locked_file
PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied.

What can be done to kill defender and get rid of the trash?

Look in windows services
Type: "services.msc" ( no quotes ) in the windows search box.
Find the service...
1. Windows Defender Firewall
2. Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service.
**See if they are running ??

Type: "Windows Security" then see if it is turned on in there. If so turn it off.
You may need to go offline, turn off norton360 ant-virus and firewall temporarily while you do this.
