Windows 10 Windows Defender and Webroot

Hello @gborrero1 and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

Windows Defender will be disabled when you install WSA but you can do Periodic Scanning with WD if you want. May I ask what Build of Windows 10 you are using? Build 1803, 1809 or 1903?

HTH,

I have Windows 10 Build 1809.

Then the above is what will happen when you install WSA.

Thanks,

I know I can turn it on at any time. Are they going to work well with each other or am I going to foresee a conflict between the two? And if I do turn it will the other be turned off by default?

WD will not be on all the time but you will be able to do Periodic Scans with WD without any of WD's protective Shields just scanning and you should not have any issues or conflicts. Also since WSA is installed it will be your main AV unless you uninstall it as it says in the picture above it shows in Security Center. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/limited-periodic-scanning-windows-defender-antivirus

So two(2) Antivirus Programs can not share the same "real time" scan option at the same time. I would have to give it to one and periodically remember to run a scan on the second?...…. My apologies if I ask too may questions. Just looking for the right thing to do my computer. Thank you in advance for your help. I really apricate your time.

So finally if ask who's Malware and Antivirus data list is larger, I'm going to guess you might be slightly bias to Webroot... LOL... You don't have to answer. Thank you so much for time TripleHelix. You've been really helpful. Safe computing. ;c)
