# Windows Defender Antivirus in the Windows Defender Security Center app
**Applies to**
- Windows 10, version 1703
**Audience**
- End-users
**Manageability available with**
- Windows Defender Security Center app
In Windows 10, version 1703 (also known as the Creators Update), the Windows Defender app is now part of the Windows Defender Security Center.
Settings that were previously part of the Windows Defender client and main Windows Settings have been combined and moved to the new app, which is installed by default as part of Windows 10, version 1703.
The app also includes the settings and status of:
- The PC (as "device health")
- Windows Firewall
- Windows Defender SmartScreen Filter
- Parental and Family Controls
>[!NOTE]
>The Windows Defender Security Center app is a client interface on Windows 10, version 1703. It is not the Windows Defender Security Center web portal that is used to review and manage [Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection](../windows-defender-atp/windows-defender-advanced-threat-protection.md).
**Review virus and threat protection settings in the Windows Defender Security Center app:**
1. Open the Windows Defender Security Center app by clicking the shield icon in the task bar or searching the start menu for **Defender**.
2. Click the **Virus & threat protection** tile (or the shield icon on the left menu bar).

However, the Windows Defender Security Center will still run, show its icon in the taskbar, and display information about the other features, such as Windows Defender SmartScreen and Windows Firewall.
