Hi all,

I just upgraded to Spybot AV+, and my Windows 10 keeps alerting me that antivirus protection is turned off. How can I confirm the Spybot AV+ antivirus status, that it is active/turned on/whatever?

Thanks for your help!
 
Hi OptiMax,

You are probably receiving the message because the native Windows Anti-Virus has been turned off, such alerts are common. :)

Running Spybot and Windows Defender – Windows 10
User of Windows 10 may have noticed that Windows Defender will stop running in Windows 10 when Spybot is installed.

Windows will disable this program if it detects another antivirus program on your PC in order to prevent conflict between the multiple antivirus programs installed.

From our FAQ: https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/spybot-defender-windows-10/

Please open Spybot and see which Spybot-S&D services are on.

Best regards.
