Since installing Windows 10 on three systems at home, I noticed that my anti virus is not running on any of them.
I checked and the program is still there, but will not load at startup, nor can I manually start it up. I have tried running it as an Administrator and in Windows 8 compatibility mode, but it simply won't work.
I did some trouble shooting and turns out my anti virus program is not compatible with Windows 10. I suppose that makes sense as Windows 10 is a differently running OS in various degrees.
Oh and the Anti Virus program in question is AdAware Free Version.
I used to use AVG Free but noticed after a while it couldn't detect a few things that AdAware could.
As Windows 10 is pretty new and not even official released yet, I assume most other Anti Virus programs would have the same compatibility issues.
So at the moment, I am left with Windows Defender, which said two systems are clean but the third had a virus along the name of Hack:System32/Keygen or something like that.
It did remove it, but I never entirely relied on Windows Defender in the past and never considered it to be nearly as protective as an Anti Virus program.
What are your guy's thoughts?
