Your antivirus and built-in Microsoft Defender is a separate things.

Anyway... No other company's antivirus software is installed on my machine, Windows' built-in Defender, which says "Protection against viruses and threats" is turned off.
Anyway, my interpretation is that it is "antivirus", like Avast and Nod32 etc, they are two separate things, but they almost do the same thing.
