I am told Microsoft Defender was turned off in my Android phone. I was not aware of doing so, and need to turn it on again.

    Hello,

    If you already have windows defender on your phone there is no need to restart it, it should always be running in the background.

    In case you don’t have defender you can download it from this link.

    Hope this helps,
