Computer users are familiar with the term "virus". In this case, "Virus" is a harmful computer program that unintentionally enters its computer without harming the user. As time goes on, computer is as modern and strong, so the virus also evolved.
Microsoft developed their own antivirus and security tool "Windows Security Essentials" for their Windows OS. It does not work very well, but for Windows 10 they are giving Windows Defender Antivirus by default.
Is it good or bad to use multiple antivirus? :
Since antivirus programs protect against malware (harmful software) or viruses, many new computer users think that if using more than one antivirus, it is possible to provide computer with at least 100 percent protection. But that's not the case. In many cases it can bring reversal.
If you keep updating regular Windows Defender virus definitions, then you can have a fairly comfortable with your PC. Since Windows's default antivirus is currently powerful enough, so many experts feel that you do not need to use one or more third-party antivirus.
Rather, if you use more than one antivirus, you can face the following problems.
They may think of each other as a 'virus' :
Because the antivirus keeps your PC in sight, they are always monitoring your system information. Since these viruses detect and destroy viruses, these antivirus programs may treat the behavior of each other as much as the virus.
As a result, you will receive notification repeatedly and normal computer operations will be interrupted.
Virus can be unnecessary:
Remember, you're using two antivirus apps. Well, so far it's great! But the thought is that if an antivirus disables the virus before, then other antivirus will not know it immediately. It will feel that the detected virus is still there and give you the warning.
The second antivirus program will be malfunctioned, due to its re-scan and removal of the virus, it can not get any trace of the virus that is coming to its database, and you can not do it anymore! Apart from this, an unstable situation may arise in the PC.
Reduce the performance of the computer :
Anything else, the antivirus programs are always running, at least they will occupy a lot of space on your PC's RAM. Moreover, the use of CPU increases. As a result, PCs seem to be slower than usual. Besides, laptops will charge faster.
Due to Windows 10 users :
Windows 10 is Microsoft's most modern operating system, in which the powerful antivirus feature is available.
But there is no way to deny that there are many third-party paid antivirus that offer more features than Windows Defender.
So if you want to use any other antivirus software as well as Windows Defender, then some functions of Windows Defender have to be closed. Of course, if you activate the second anti-virus program, Windows itself will stop Windows Defender / Windows Security app. In that case, it will not be confused with your second antivirus.
So, we should not use more than one antivirus software simultaneously.
