   I got it, from a friend, with a bad harddrive, and I replaced that and   
   did a fresh install. I maxxed out the RAM to 8gigs. also and everything   
   was good for several years.

   I installed AVG Free.  Could that do it?  You answered that already! See   
   pargraph starting with *****.   (Because of AVG's increased popups, I'm   
   trying to switch to Windows Security now, which I've heard is good   
   enough to rely on now, for low risk users.)

   I'm trying to install Windows Defender now. I downloaded it, and tried   
   to install it, but iiuc it won't finish installation until I log into   
   the MSoft store, and it won't let me log into Microsoft using my Skype   
   userid and password.  I thought that was supposed to work. Or it insists   
   I subscribe to something-365 and pay monthly!   
      
   ***** Aha. Well, there you go.   So it seems to me not that I need   
   Windows Defender to turn off CFA, but that since I haven't used Windows   
   Defender, I don't even have CFA to begin with.  No wonder it has not   
   caused any trouble.  :-)
