Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program with no firewall. When you installed MSE, Windows Defender was automatically disabled, because MSE essentially replaces it.

I get a bit confused with all these anti-virus items around. an engineer put on my xp laptop avg to scan daily it is8.5 he set it to do a scheduled scan at 7pm,if I forget to put the Pc on in time I will look in tools and carry out a full system scan, this takes only a fraction of the time the scheduled scan takes, which seems odd, on my New window 7 pc I have Ms essentials which seems to run quietly in background, then again someone once said "you cannot beat Ms Defender! can you tell me then what is Ms Defender is it an antivirus or a Firewall?

MSE scans attachments, which is the only way you can trigger a virus in an incoming email message. MSE is easier to use than AVG, and in recent comparison tests, outscored AVG at malware detection. AVG has a built-in web link scanner that alerts you to unsafe web pages, but this can be installed as a stand-alone application that complements MSE. Real time protection means that the program automatically scans files for malware whenever they are opened.

But I was just curious. You said uninstall AVG and keep microsoft's security assentials I was just wondering why that would be better. You said something about "real time protection" Does that mean microsoft's security assentials will scan incoming and out going emails for me. I was just wondering what are the difference between the two programmes. Many Thanks so far Hope to hear from you soon and everyone else!

I suggest keeping MSE and removing AVG. You can also keep Malware Bytes because it is only an on-demand scanner that will not interfere with MSE.

Basicly I have 3 programmes on my computer. 1. AVG Free 9.0 2. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and 3. Microsoft Security Essentials. Basicly with all the programmes above is it really nessacary to have them all installed? I mean I heard that having more than one programme on your computer can cause comflects with each other but I have not seen any yet. Also is it possable that my computer will slow down? I heard that people are using Microsoft Security Essentials more than avg don't know if that's true but I was conserned about the programme not having a scanner for emails. if so which one should I remove from my system? Many Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
