[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1030870, member: 52014"] Yes, it is normal for Microsoft Defender (formerly known as Microsoft Security Essentials) to remain active in the task manager even after installing another antivirus software. This is because Windows 10 includes Microsoft Defender as a built-in anti-malware solution, and it will automatically disable itself if it detects the presence of another antivirus software on the system. However, the processes and services associated with Microsoft Defender may still appear in the task manager even when it is not actively running. This is a common occurrence and does not indicate that there is an issue with your antivirus software. [/QUOTE]
