Windows 10: Malwarebytes as main Antivirus

I have a lifetime subscription to Malwarebytes and recently got a new laptop with Windows 10. I transferred the license and Malwarebytes registered as the Antivirus, shutting off Windows Defender.

I'm not sure if I like this behaviour. Can, or should I run both, or use Malwarebytes manually, or trust as is with Malwarebytes as my antivirus?

Malwarebytes and Windows 10

Then I'll suggest you follow these steps:

1. Press Windows Key + R to open the run dialog

2. In the box that comes up, type services.msc and click OK

3. In the list, find Windows Management Instrumentation, and double click it

4. Change startup type to Automatic

5. See if you can open Malwarebytes, if not, do a reboot.

 

Antivirus advice needed

I have Norton Internet Security and Malwarebytes and thats all I need.

av-test.org has some things to say about antivirus

Too bad MS Security Essentials is at the bottom of the list

Malwarebytes AntiVirus app disappeared on system migrated from Win7 pro to Win 10 pro

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is
not an anti-virus program nor should it be used as a replacement. Malwarebytes does not act as a real-time protection scanner for every file like anti-virus software so it is
intended to be a supplement, not a substitute. Read this Malwarebytes HelpDesk Article:

Does Malwarebytes Anti-Malware replace antivirus software?
