    Some people have no time to do searching, lol.
    I don't think you can completely remove it, but you can disable it by following some steps. Here are two links:

    https://www.isunshare.com/windows-8/3-ways-to-disable-windows-defender-on-windows-8-8.1.html

    I hope you have a plan to protect device before disabling it.
