Windows Defender
« on: January 25, 2018, 07:02:00 AM »
Will Avast Premier play nice with Windows Defender? I'd like to give WD a try, but I don't want to rely on it entirely. Can I run both Avast and Windows Defender? (New HP desktop running Windows 10)

Nope. (Only option would be to set Avast to passive mode)

You can only use one resident Antivirus program at a time.
