What anti-virus software do you run? I use Avira free version, and have never had issues.

Nothing in that FAQ requires you to remove virus protection. I have never had to uninstall anti-virus software in all my remote supports. The firewall needs exceptions for HM and SQL, but that won't open any doors to viruses. The windows defender being off shouldn't affect you either, as long as you have some type of standard virus protection.

I would suggest you follow this FAQ at 2p2 to get help cleaning up the virus.
