Advice Request Is there any free AV compatible with Windows Defender?

[Sr. Normal]

Hi friends
I want know if there are any antivirus that can work with Windows Defender in Windows 10 and that its Real Time protection is compatible with Windows Defender without disabling it. Thanks.

According to the support page: Using Windows Defender with SecureAPlus on Windows 10 – SecureAPlus Support Pages, I think maybe you can consider SAP

You can try Immunet, it is made to work with existing security programs, not sure about Windows 10 compatibility. Or a good anti-malware software like Zemana(multi-engine)

May i know the reason why you want an Antivirus software to run along with the one provided by Microsoft? Be aware that Windows Defender since Windows 7/8 has been updated as well as external antivirus vendors to work along with themselves. You won't experience crashes though you may experience slow downs at your system.

On Microsoft official web you can see they mention if you install any antimalware software on the OS, Windows Defender/Security Essentials will automatically turn off. I don't really know if it can be turned on, still if it goes off, there must be a reason..

You could try EEK. Or Zemana Antimalware free.

Thanks I´ll try it, good idea, but Zemana with real time protection is a paid soft, if i´m not wrong

Thanks I really like Windows Defender , but I think still a little below other solutions. I like to "play" with new programs and I have a partition just for this. The VM use the above to "play" with virus and I wanted to try in a real environment the possibilities of Windows Defender. Currently I have it with ERP NVT (do together an excellent defense) but I would like to explore other possibilities

Thanks my friend, but I prefer an active defense layer

Immunet or Crystal Security

Xvirus personal guard, spyware blaster in addition to the ones above, which are free and provide real-time, but cannot say they disable Windows defender or not.

Free: Immunet Protect, XVirus, Crystal Security or SecureAPlus.

Wow! Immunet closes Windows Defender

It is compatible most antivirus out there. Most second opinions anti-malware should be too like Xvirus, Crystal Security, Secureaplus, zemana pro or malwarebytes pro.

This doesn't happen with any other security programs I have used, it is a companion program.

I also thought that, but ... Immunet Turns Off Defender - Support Documentation

Cristal Security, Xvirus, Zemana, OR Kompas
(I think avast free can be installed as a second antivirus)

I can confirm you CANNOT use Avast Free and Windows Defender together at the same time on Windows 10.
