    Windows Defender vs. Kaspersky Internet Security


    I've got Kaspersky KIS 2016 installed on Win10 and have turned (or tried to turn) Windows Defender off via Group Policy. It even says it's bee turned off. But Speccy v1.28.709 says:
    Windows Defender
    Windows Defender Enabled
    Firewall
    Firewall Enabled
    Display Name Kaspersky Internet Security
    Antivirus
    Antivirus Disabled
    Display Name Windows Defender
    Virus Signature Database Up to date

    On a Win7 PC, Speccy says"
    Windows Defender
    Windows Defender Enabled
    Firewall
    Firewall Enabled
    Display Name Kaspersky Internet Security
    Antivirus
    Antivirus Enabled
    Display Name Kaspersky Internet Security
    Virus Signature Database Up to date

    Now, that "Windows Defender Enabled" on both PCs is a bit worrisome, but I assume (hope!) it's a Speccy bug. What about the Win10 antivirus status? Is that also the Speccy problem? Do I really have no antivirus support active on Win10, or is Speccy just looking in the wrong place? Kaspersky thinks all is well, but I don't know if it can really tell.

    Should I renew Kaspersky or go with Windows Defender?

    As far as which is Secure ... I would have to say they are probably at least equal, as far as stopping any virus, malware ... so far.

    FYI

    In case you want to use the in-built Windows Defender you need to uninstall Kaspersky Internet Security and also use the Kaspersky Internet Security removal tool from this list List
    of anti-malware product removal tools     to get rid of all possible remnants.

    After a reboot, Windows Defender should be automatically enabled.

    Windows Defender Or Kaspersky Internet Security?

    Defender turned off my Kaspersky

    One day I got a notification "Security and Maintenance, both Windows defender and Kaspersky Internet Security is turned off" when I click it, it opens a small window,

    Kaspersky Internet Security Off

    Windows Defender Snooze

    will only let me turn on defender, not Kaspersky...

    please help, thanks

    (windows 10)
