Scroll down to Windows Action Center, see:

You may have noticed a flag in your system tray that sometimes has a red icon with a white X appear over the flag. That is a status indicator for the Windows Action Center, which tells you when your computer has a security issue that needs your attention.
Malwarebytes Premium 3.0 or Malwarebytes Trial 3.0 can now be registered as a security solution on your computer. There are three settings available, which will be abbreviated here for easier reading. Brief descriptions for the meaning of each setting are
also provided.

• Let Malwarebytes choose whether to register: Malwarebytes will determine whether it should be registered in Action Center. The program will not register when Microsoft Security Essentials is in use on a Windows 7 or older operating
  system. It will also not register when Windows Defender is used on a Windows 8 or newer OS.
• Always register Malwarebytes: Malwarebytes program status will always appear in Action Center.
• Never register Malwarebytes: Malwarebytes program status will never appear in Action Center.

Malwarebytes Premium Turned Off Windows Defender??

@woodbine Your screenshot If you read further in the thread, you'll notice neither I or Paul, have anything listed under 'Web Protection'. I can only assume it's referring to an 'extension or other app'. But really have no idea, as I don't use them. My suggestion, keep Windows Security updated (make sure Smart Screen or equivalent is turned on in your Browser), and don't stress over it. *Wink Best of luck.

 

Defender disabled by Malwarebytes?

[Merged]

Windows 10 accepts Malwarebytes as complete antivirus, and will not allow full Defender to work.

Yet, according to many searches Malwarebytes is not considered to be a complete antivirus.

I had to remove Malwarebytes from my laptop to get Defender to work fully.

Any suggestions about how to use complete Defender while running Malwarebytes
