Using KTS and Windows Defender

[SAJFLADD]

Hi,

I’m using Windows 10 Home, vs 20H2, and KTS, vs 21.3.10.391 ( e ). 

As seen in the attached screenshot, Microsoft state that ‘you can keep using your current provider and get Microsoft Defender Antivirus to check periodically for threats’. However, is it still a bad idea to have two antivirus products operating on the same system, or is it OK to run the periodic scans, considering the two above stated products I’m using?

Thanks

@SAJFLADD WD is not compatible with Kaspersky, please don not enable Defender Antivirus.

Thanks Berny. As I suspected, a bad idea. Someone should tell that to Microsoft though, as there are probably plenty of people who read that Microsoft statement without checking with Kaspersky, simply trusting what Microsoft say. All it needs is a continuation of the statement with '...but check with your vendor if their product is compatible with Defender'.

Cheers
