Probably the only way to get rid of it totally would be to firstly disable it; then use the Registry Editors to remove all the traces of the program.

Try this; Go Start > run > type in regedit > OK > in the pane that opens, > Edit > find > type in the box > Defender Pro > enter.
When the Registry Editors finds an entry, right click on it and delete.
You will need to hit the F3 key a few times until it has finished searching.
Once it completes, reboot the computer.
One piece of advice, download and 'save' either one of those AV programs I suggested to the desktop; disconnect from the Internet; then use the Registry Editor.
After rebooting, install the 'new' AV program, and reconnect to the Internet.

Post back with how you fared.

Kind Regards,
