FSFilter Anti-Virus - Windows Defender does real-time checking of new files.

If I remove Windows Defender is it safe to remove it? I removed all filters without having any apparent consequences but I don't know what might be going on behind the scenes.

FSFilter Activity Monitor - File Explorer will update the folder view based on detected activity.

Maybe this is because my Desktop doesn't always update the files shown when I download a file in the browser and save it to the Desktop, I removed that

In this link there are some famous antivirus under FSFilter Anti-Virus. Do not know what this means

But it seems safer to me to keep at least some of these filters in case some software depends on them.
