Conflict with Windows Defender and AVG 9

[Richard in AZ]

AVG 9 is turning off Windows Defender.
the following is a quote from AVG regarding this action:

Dear Sir/Madam,

thank you for your e-mail.

Please be informed that we are aware of this behavior. AVG 9 is disabling Widows Defender per
recommendation by Microsoft. AVG offers duplicate functionality, so Windows Defender doesn't
complement your security level further. It only contributes to the system load and lowers the
performance of your computer.

The new version of AVG and windows defender cannot run at the same time.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Velina Krasteva
