Hello Jacobus,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support. We'd be happy to clarify this to you.
We would like to inform that installing AVG Antivirus will disable Micorsoft defender and its the expected behaviour since AVG will take control over the security part of windows. 
If you have any other queries related to AVG, please get back to us and we will assist you.
Thank you for understanding.

Dear Support

I trust this email finds you well.

AVG Free Antivirus. when installed, turns of Microsoft Defender,  I have tested, and used 3 other free antivirus software programs, and AVG is the only software program that turns of Microsoft Defender
What is the reason for this?

Kind regards
Jaco Bierman

PS Thank you for giving us AVG Free Antivirus. It does make a difference!
