    Webroot v Defender

    As a condition of a discount deal with Best Buy I received Webroot. Now BB continually bugs me to download the software. I currently use MS Defender. Is Webroot better than Defender? If I do download Webroot but do want to use it how do I delete it before it replaces Defender?

    Notifications that my Defender and antispyware is off. My Webroot is running.

    Windows Defender should (to prevent software conflicts and other potential issues) be disabled by the presence of Webroot on the computer.

    Protect your PC - Microsoft Support If
    you continue to receive the notification and wish to use Webroot, suggest you uninstall/reinstall the Webroot program. You may also need to manually disable WD: How to Turn On or Off Microsoft Defender Antivirus in Windows 10

    If you wish to use WD on Win 8.1/10 you must uninstall any third party antimalware program (such as Webroot) that may be on the computer (or was previously on the computer before it was upgraded to Win 10), run the appropriate
    software removal tool and reboot the computer. See List
    of anti-malware product removal tools

    Webroot Secure Anywhere

    I am trying to uninstall the Webroot Secure Anywhere from my Windows 10 computer. I already have McAfee security and the Webroot interferes with this. How can uninstall this. I've tried the normal uninstall in the Control Panel but it does not let me.
    I am not very experienced at this so I would need step by step instructions. I would be very grateful if someone could help.

    Thank you
