    Can Windows Security be replaced with another anti-virus program?


    I own a non-Apple laptop which runs Microsoft 10 and has Windows Security installed. But I would like to know if Windows Security can be replaced with VIPRE an anti-virus program? If so, should I download and install VIPRE before replacing it with Windows Security? And how do I de-activate Windows Security and use VIPRE instead? Your advice is greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Windows 10 comes with in-built Anti-Virus program Windows Defender.

    It depends on your own preferences if you would want to use another Anti-Virus program.
