Check your Programs and Features.
Locate Neurowise.
If found, UN-install it.

Neurowise is an adware according to my google search.

1. Defender have Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 but I have installed antivirus , I know that Linux doesn`t need antivirus , windows 10 also doesn`t need antivirus ?
2. For tracking temperatures on my computer , I wanted to use Speccy , I was verry pleased with this program above but is not compatible with Windows 10 . I was
watching with Speccy , in real time all the hardware in my computer but now I need to use two programs for processor and graphic card only. That is not OK !

1. The Windows Defender in Win 7 is NOT the same Windows Defender in Win 8/8.1.
In Vista and Win 7, Windows Defender is an anti-spyware. It is considered base-line protection and for some inadequate. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) was introduced and at that time considered very good anti-spyware and anti-virus program. There are many 3rd party AVs to choose from too. Many 3rd party AVs and MSE will disable Windows Defender after installation. That renders WD useless.
I had MSE installed on my Win 7 but switched to Avast ( free edition ) upon the news of poor performance reviews of MSE. Now I have both WD an Avast for protection.
In Win 8/8.1, Windows Defender is actually a modified version of MSE.
At the beginning, I also switched to Avast, but decided to come back to use WD ( aka MSE ) as real time protection, and Malwarebytes (free edition ) as on-demand protection. So far no security issues.
I have since 10/01 installed Win 10 TP and I use the same setup as Win 8.1.
Windows defender and Malwarebytes.

2. Speccy is incompatible with Win 10. But it's not the only program incompatible.
Win 10 TP is only in infant stage. That is why we are given a Feedback program so that we can report all the bugs and glitches back to MS. Perhaps, when the Final Release comes out, all dust will settle.
You are not supposed to install Win 10 TP with the intention of using it as primary OS. If you were using this MS link to install, you should have read the Warning note.

Defender suits me, also. But, of course, the Tech review is there for us to work through and, where we can contribute, provide feedback. For those who can be bothered, this could, of course, also include trying out that huge collection of antivirus programs.

I was also a speccy fan, up to ma year ago. On a tip, I changed to Belarq.

A much more comprehensive cover. It even tells you what the keys are for any software you have installed.

Found out where I got that Neurowise.
It was from downloading and installing SigmaTel audio driver about 5 days ago when I installed Win 10 TP the very first time.
The download site was from Cnet.
Today, I reinstalled Win 10 TP into my 6 years old Dell laptop as a sole operating system.
After install, there was no sound.
I remembered, quite a while back, that davehc told me to re-install sigmatel.
I have that link saved in my external harddrive. So I used it to download.
During installation, one of many garbage free programs offered was Neurowise.
I hit the Decline button in record time.
