Steve Alexander covers technology for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. However, you can manually change the font and type size each time you compose an e-mail or reply to one (see /yclvbrdx). You can’t change the default type size in Windows 10 Mail, which is set to the Calibri font and type size 11. The other uses the System File Checker software to automatically repair any corrupted files that can cause recurring problems (see /yak3yf5t). One uses the Windows Task Manager to correct a temporary glitch in the program. Windows 10 provides two ways to prevent File Explorer from opening by itself. In addition, I find the type size in Windows 10 Mail to be too small. The File Explorer program constantly opens by itself on my Windows 10 PC. If it doesn’t stay off, reinstall Malwarebytes Premium and check Defender again. If the switch icon below “real-time protection” is on, Windows Defender is still running. In the Windows 10 search box, search for “virus,” then click on “virus and threat protection,” then click on “virus and threat protection settings.”

As a result, you should check to make sure that Windows Defender turned itself off when that upgrade occurred. Malwarebytes Premium is an unusual case because it has been upgraded to act as a full-fledged antivirus program. But now my PC seems to be slowing down does that mean these two programs conflict?Ī. For several years, I’ve been using the Windows 10 Defender antivirus program as well as Malwarebytes Premium.
If you use Windows 7, uninstall whatever antivirus program you are currently using before installing a new one (Defender isn’t a full-fledged antivirus program in Windows 7.)

All antivirus programs conflict with each other, which is why you should never run two of them at the same time.įortunately, if you have Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, the built-in Windows Defender antivirus software will automatically turn off if you install another antivirus program. Does Microsoft’s free antivirus software conflict with many other antivirus programs?Ī.
You will need to upgrade to a newer operating system to be safe. If new Windows 7 security flaws are discovered after that, no antivirus program will be enough to protect your PCs. Starting in January, 2020, Windows 7 will no longer receive security updates from Microsoft. Once Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, will antivirus software be enough to protect our PCs?Ī. Because antivirus software is essential for safety, it’s important to know how it works. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about antivirus software for Windows.
