If you download the Elastic Agent on Windows 10 or above, you can configure Elastic Security as your antivirus software by doing the following:
113+
114+
1. Go to **Fleet** > **Agents**. A list of hosts with the Elastic Agent appears.
115+
2. Select your desired host from the list.
116+
3. From the host's page, find your named **Endpoint** integration and select it.
117+
4. On the Integration Edit page, look for the **Protections** section and find **Type: Register as antivirus**. Toggle this option to enable.

5. Click **Save Integration**. Confirm that you would like to update your Elastic Agent. Once updated, Windows Defender will be disabled on your local host in favor of Elastic Security.

After installing the {agent}, there's a lag time of several hours between when the Elastic Endpoint begins detecting and sending alerts to {Kibana}. To ensure that the installation of Elastic Endpoint on your host was successful, go to **Administration > Endpoints**. A message appears that says, "Endpoints are enrolling. View agents to track progress".
