Can you run defender and avg

That's when I noticed for the first time I have a Windows Defender installed. I then switched it off, and noticed that my browsing was much faster, but then I tried to switch on my AVG and it seems it had been disabled presumably by Windows Defender. How do I handle this? I obviously do not want to have two virus software running in the background, and I am quite happy to stick with my free version of AVG.

Help please. This will ensure that none of the previous traces of AVG are left on your computer and you have an updated version. Please reboot your computer once, when AVG Clear tool ask for a computer reboot. Best regards, Alok. General info.. Basically you detect it using some signature or heuristics, then you block it by preventing it from running. The only difference is the severity of the attack.

Malwarebytes can find genuine viruses too, BTW. I wouldn't know. I have never been infected because malwarebytes either blocks the download from a malicious host or blocks the website all together but I would argue there is some difference otherwise. I am pretty sure the main guy behind malwarebytes feels there is a difference very impressed with the company itself — Ramhound.

Who says avg and avast much more capable besides people paid by avg and avast to say that? Ramhound I said it from my experience. I have been using free version of Avast for years and it is very much better than Windows Defender.

I have had bad experiences with avg wouldn't wish that program on my worst enemy the type of person if I had a chance to sucker punch I would. Avg corrupted every single one of my emails when it added a "scan by avg" footer to every single one of my emails when I still heavily used outlook — Ramhound.

Ramhound Did you paid for it? Ramhound I never tried AVG luckily. I use Avast since early. Before that there was only Windows Defender and it lacks many features like USB scanning and it was very poor in detecting viruses.
