  2. Good alternative to Windows Defender on 8.1

    I had to do a format and reinstall on my main rig, and thought I may as well upgrade to 8.1. My only real gripe is my Downloads folder lagging like hell, which I've read is due to Windows Defender. Now I really like MSE/Windows Defender because it's unobtrusive and lets me do what I want to do without pissing me off. Several attempts to try another antivirus program have always resulted in me going back to MSE (either due to viral infection or general annoyance). The lagging, while not an issue per se, is annoying the hell out of me. So I'd like suggestions for a good, free alternative that will be unobtrusive, not try to block everything I want to do (I'm smart enough to know what I'm doing), and not make my PC lag even when running a schedules scan.

    Thanks.

    How to turn on Windows defender in Windows 10

    Hello,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.


    Windows Defender is the default real-time (always on) protection program in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.

    If there are any third party security software installed, then Windows Defender will get disabled automatically.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it help:


    • Open Settings by either clicking on the Settings icon on the Start menu or simultaneously pressing Windows and I keys.

    • Click on Update & Security.

    • Click on Windows Defender, and on the left right side, turn on.
    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you.
