I have not installed any anti-virus software on my Windows 8 as I think that Windows Defender is enough to keep my system protected from any virus attack. However, sometimes my Action Center shows to turn virus protection on, even though I have enabled Windows Defender.
Why is my Action Center occasionally showing this message?

2A screenshot would be nice. Also have you updated the Windows Defender or not? – avirk – 2012-11-09T14:11:45.567

Defender is not an AV, it protects against malware! And your assumption is plain wrong; only some decide not to use an AntiVirus (due to arrogance typically) but most of even the most experienced in IT use one (even if it's a free one) – Dave – 2012-11-09T14:21:09.507
10well defender in windows 8 is combined with windows security essentials so now it is a AV. – ankit689 – 2012-11-09T14:23:09.370
1@DaveORook - Windows Defender on Windows 8 certainly is anti-virus security suite. – Ramhound – 2012-11-09T16:28:01.263
@ankit689 have you check the setting menu and enabled the "Real time protection" is turn on? – avirk – 2012-11-09T16:37:19.877
1Try turning off and then turning Defender on – pratnala – 2012-11-09T16:38:06.287
