I have not installed any anti-virus software on my Windows 8 as I think that Windows Defender is enough to keep my system protected from any virus attack. However, sometimes my Action Center shows to turn virus protection on, even though I have enabled Windows Defender.

Why is my Action Center occasionally showing this message?

    A screenshot would be nice. Also have you updated the Windows Defender or not? – avirk Nov 09 '12 at 14:11

  • Defender is not an AV, it protects against malware! And your assumption is plain wrong; only some decide not to use an AntiVirus (due to arrogance typically) but most of even the most experienced in IT use one (even if it's a free one) – Dave Nov 09 '12 at 14:21

    well defender in windows 8 is combined with windows security essentials so now it is a AV. – ankit689 Nov 09 '12 at 14:23

    @DaveORook - Windows Defender on Windows 8 certainly is anti-virus security suite. – Ramhound Nov 09 '12 at 16:28
  • @ankit689 have you check the setting menu and enabled the "Real time protection" is turn on? – avirk Nov 09 '12 at 16:37
