 I just upgraded to windows 10 and it has Windows Defender.  Is this going to conflict with my Webroot antivirus?

 
Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

Windows Defender disables itself when it detects WSA and other AV's see here: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Complete/What-s-the-difference-between-the-new-Windows-Defender-and/ta-p/13852 and here is a work around if you want to run WD with WSA: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/How-to-Run-WSA-alongside-Windows-Defender-on-Windows-8-Windows-8/ta-p/23058

 

Look at what WSA offers to keep up with the influx of malware: http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php

 

Thanks,

Thank you Daniel... I took a look... sounds like they are compatible enough.  I am not comfortable making registry changes :)

 

 
No worries as I don't use Windows Defender at all.

 

Daniel 😃
why use Microsofts Windows Defender when the best defender for Windows & other OS' is WRSA ?? :D
