Windows 10: Norton or Windows 10 Defender July 2020

New laptop, Windows 10 installed. Do I need any other anti-virus, e.g., Norton??

I used Win 7 & Defender with no problems up to July 2020 on old laptop.

Many thanks

:)

 

Norton or Windows Defender?

This suggests that your install of Norton is not in good shape. Try uninstalling and reinstalling. If that doesn't work, contact Norton support.

Windows Antivirus enabled Norton Antivirus disabled?

Assuming you've got Norton installed...

Two suggestions to try.

• Uninstall Norton, reboot, run the Norton Removal Tool, reboot and then reinstall Norton. See List
  of anti-malware product removal tools
• If that doesn’t disable Windows Defender, see How to Turn On or Off Microsoft Defender Antivirus in Windows 10

I use Malwarebytes Free (also have Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit) with Windows Defender and there are no conflicts.

But you may want to seek advice from Norton about using Malwarebytes products concurrently with Norton programs
