Remove all Antivirus software except for windows defender

Describe the feature or improvement

Other than the standard MS bloat, most of the slow pcs I've seen had one or more AV software installed besides Defender.

Would it be possible to integrate something that removes other AVs from the system?

I'm guessing it would not be easy due to the permissions they have, but it would be extremely useful.

These AVs are a pain to remove even with admin privileges

Examples

• Detect and remove third party AVs (parent)
• Remove McAfee (child)
• Remove Norton (child)
• Remove Avast (child)
• etc etc (child)

Additional context

Thank you for the tool, honestly. I've been using and recommending it for years now

Heya,

While I do agree that most preinstalled antivirus software is really nothing more than bloat, it's typically quite difficult to remove, especially for automated scripts like Win11Debloat. I'll look into it in the future, but other long-requested features have priority for now.

Sure, thanks for taking the time to reply and consider this. Keep up the great work
