Windows 10 and 11 include Windows Security, which provides the latest antivirus protection. Your device will be actively protected from the moment you start Windows. Windows Security continually scans for malware (malicious software), viruses, and security threats. In addition to this real-time protection, updates are downloaded automatically to help keep your device safe and protect it from threats.
Windows Security is built-in to Windows and includes an antivirus program called Microsoft Defender Antivirus. (In early versions of Windows 10, Windows Security is called Microsoft Defender Antivirus Security Center). If you have another antivirus app installed and turned on, Microsoft Defender Antivirus will turn off automatically. If you uninstall the other app, Microsoft Defender Antivirus will turn back on automatically.
Windows Security is your home to manage the tools that protect your device and your data:
- Virus & threat protection – monitor threats to your device, run scans, and get updates to help detect the latest threats. (Some of these options are unavailable if you're running Windows 10 in S mode.)
- Account protection – Access sign-in options and account settings, including Windows Hello and dynamic lock.
- Firewall & network protection – Manage firewall settings and monitor what is happening with your networks and internet connections.
- App & browser control – Update settings for Microsoft Defender SmartScreen to help protect your device against potentially dangerous apps, files, sites, and downloads. You'll have exploit protection, and you can customize protection settings for your devices.
- Device security – Review built-in security options to help protect your device from attacks by malicious software.
- Device performance & health – View status info about your device’s performance health, and keep your device clean and up-to-date with the latest version of Windows.
- Family options – Keep track of your kids’ online activity and the devices in your household.
To customize how your device is protected with these Windows Security features select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security.
