Windows 10: Windows Defender vs iObit malware fighter

Should I have these two running on same time?

:)

 

win 10 and iobit malware fighter conflict

I have IOBIT Malware fighter pro and Win 10 keeps telling me that it and Defender are both turned off. I know the IOBIT is working as this can happen when the Malware program is scanning or not. Any ideas?

Problems starting Windows Defender in Windows 8/8.1/10

IOBIT Malware fighter pro has real-time scanning features which are conflicting with Windows Defender.

You need to disable those features in your Iobit product to ensure that Windows Defender can properly function.

Better yet: Uninstall IOBIT Malware fighter pro totally.

See: "There's absolutely no reason to buy or even try IObit Malware Fighter...
It doesn't function as an antivirus and doesn't effectively fight malware. In testing, it reported seven thoroughly infested systems as perfectly clean. Avoid it."

Of course it's your decision but Microsoft does not recommend the use of such programs:
