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

[Sr. Normal]

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

Thanks for the info

Kompas works fine with WD

Comodo Cloud too

Comodo Cloud and Windows Defender will be solid

Comodo cloud AV works with defender? Really? Does it work also with other antivirus software? That would be definitely a solid combo!

Have you tried the free FortiClient? You don't need to be a Fortinet user to get the antivirus and web filtering, and it seems to play nice with other AV software.

Actually those security products mentioned are indeed compatible to Windows Defender because they don't have drivers for possible collision.

Experimental setup: Panda Free AV alongside of MSE/Windows Defender. (Not recommended at all but try with risk)

Avast is no longer reliable anyway...

On the Comodo forums the CCAV program is meant to run alone and should not be mixed with other antivirus programs,there will be errors along the way later..just a mention of what i've read.

If you are experienced enough, Voodoo Shield, AppGuard or NVT are the best choices instead of supplementary AVs.
I find Voodoo Shield the easiest among the anti-executable.

@Sr. Normal

Out off the choices here:
Comodo Cloud and VoodooShield would be my pick.

Comodo: Antivirus + auto-sandboxing

Voodooshield: Multi AV engines + whitelisting
