Windows Periodic Scanner says I have 2 Antiviruses?

Hello, recently windows keeps popping notifications up on my desktop saying "Windows Defender Periodic Scanning is on" but this notification comes up several times a day which is pretty annoying. It also says at the end "you're also using another antivirus program for active protection" but I've never installed another antivirus onto my PC so not sure why it is saying that?

If someone can help figure out why my PC thinks it has 2 antivirus and why it seems to keep needing to tell me that defender scanning is on?

Thanks in advance =)

 

Windows Security Virus Scan

Please confirm you don't have a list like this:




e.g. from here (or via the control panel):




If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

 

Limited Periodic Scanning turns off

I use Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.0.1 MP5

In Windows Defender i need to use only Limited Periodic Scanning. SEP is default antivirus.

Microsoft says:

Enabling Windows 10 Limited Periodic Scanning <--- THIS TURNS OFF


If you are not using Windows Defender as your antivirus program on Windows 10, you can enable
Limited Periodic Scanning under Settings.

• Navigate to Settings -> Update & Security ->
  Windows Defender.
• Turn Limited Periodic Scanning on.
