Good evening
My PC is telling me that Windows Defender is out of date. Am I no longer protected against viruses?
Can I update it, and how, or should I install another antivirus?
Thank you for sharing your experiences and helping me.
Best regards.

I think I no longer have antivirus protection since Windows Defender is expired. So I need to install a new antivirus, or is it possible to reactivate Defender? Thank you for your response.

Hello
Windows Defender does not expire
Updates are automatic
Look rather at the bottom right of the taskbar, to see if it is not disabled
It should look like this:

I can't take a screenshot. It says "the definitions of protection are outdated" and when I click on update, it just spins and nothing happens. On the defender logo, there's a yellow triangle with a black exclamation point.
