Lots does not help lots
Only one antivirus program should be installed on the device at a time. If you install an additional antivirus program, Microsoft Defender will be automatically disabled. However, if you want to use Microsoft Defender, be sure to uninstall all other antivirus programs. Do not install more than one additional antivirus program under any circumstances!
Updates are mandatory
Antivirus programs also need regular updates. If you have installed a fee-based antivirus software and your subscription has expired: uninstall the program. Antivirus programs without updates are a security risk.
Free or fee-based?
In addition to fee-based antivirus programs, there are also many free alternatives. These free alternatives may rely on advertising or collect user data. In any case, rely on a reputable virus protection. There have been instances of malware masquerading as antivirus programs. If in doubt, ask the ZIM.
Sometimes less is more
Antivirus programs are important for safe travel on the Internet. Many antivirus programs come with packages in the form of other programs that you may not need. Email scanners, VPN clients, password managers and PC cleaners should therefore be uninstalled unless absolutely necessary.
