Is it possible to run Microsoft Defender alongside Aura without any conflicts? There have been no issues yet, but clarification on compatibility would be appreciated.

    @Carlos SterlingI hope you are doing well,

    You can use Aura with Microsoft Defender, but make sure only one antivirus engine is actively protecting your system in real time. Let Aura handle identity/digital privacy while Defender takes care of malware defense.

    this is the most compatible and efficient setup.

    After researching your suggestions, I found that defender was actually working with Aura on malware threats but not active on digital security/VPN. Therefore, your answer was perfect for me, and I thank you. I might discontinue Aura after the subscription is up and go totally with Microsoft Defender for cost effectiveness. Just considering right now...
