Since it can't be disabled in Windows 10?
Can another anti-virus or anti-malware program like Malwarebytes or Kaspersky, be used simultaneously with Windows Defender?
How good is Windows Defender?

QUOTE(raizo7 @ Aug 1 2015, 12:59 PM) Windows defender is more than enough to protect you from virus/spyware etc. How do we permanently disable Windows Defender in Windows 10?Heck, if you know what you're doing, you don't even need any anti virus software. And yes, you can disable win defender in win 10.  |

QUOTE(billytong @ Aug 1 2015, 01:06 PM) I am more interested in what firewall/anti-virus that can run with windows defender ON OFFICIALLY instead of disable it. That's true because Windows Defender cannot be permanently disabled.The system will automatically enable it again after a while.   |

So using Windows Defender by itself without any other AV apps is good enough to protect your system?

We don't use third party AV software just because we have a lot of spare CPU power and RAM.
The real reason we don't use third party AV software is because the built-in Windows Defender is good enough to do the job. |

There are normal users, and there are paranoid users as well.

I have installed Avira Free Antivirus today.
It automatically disabled Windows Defender after installation. This is good because I don't want to keep getting Virus Definition Updates for Windows Defender during Windows Update. It has a browser safety extension for my Google Chrome browser too.  |

QUOTE(lolzcalvin @ Sep 7 2015, 12:37 PM) Virus definition update is important and you should update it. And of course, never ignore any updates in case of tempting to evade any windows updates as well. Windows Virus Definition Updates are automatically disabled once we install a third-party AV which replaces Windows Defender.Refer to this link: http://www.zdnet.com/article/you-are-doing...ftag=YHR05c7fba That is what I want. |
