Ok, I looked up instructions and all on disabling Windows Defender through Services and startup. So pretty much Window Defender is offline and not working. I already have AVG installed quite a while ago. So does that mean that it will continue to run if it is currently working?
Because when I had both running at the same time last time, sometimes I get a red bubble when starting up my computer and it says I might not be protected. I clicked on it and it shows that AVG is turned off and Windows Defender is turned on. Since I disabled Windows Defender does AVG automatically kick in or do I have to do something about it? When I go to firewall settings it just says that my firewall is running. Does that mean I'm safe?
------------------------
OH! I see now, window defender is an anti-spyware and AVG is an Anti-Virus. They don't conflict each other. :P. I should probably enable Windows Defender again.
However I do wonder why sometimes it tells me AVG is off and I can't turn it on. However that rarely happen upon boot up but I do think it still can be a problem.
