    Hi,
    Just one mate :)
    Defender should be disabled when Avast is installed by default if not disable it manually
    I know when I installed Panda free defender was disabled automatically.

    Avast leaves Windows Defender active.

    Avast and Windows Defender check for different things.

    There is harm in using them both.

    Avast is attempting to check too many things.

    Avast gets some of those things wrong.
    (e.g. checking for out of date software)
