Hi, no you're right. Whilst AVG will protect you from viruses and the like, Windows Defender will protect spyware and the like.

Hi, a couple of things. First of all, Jake's right about AVG paid and free being the same. The paid version just offers more flexibility in some ways plus the right to tech support by email. But it uses the same virus definitions and heuristics, or however that's properly said. Also, I'm running AVG (free edition) and windows Defender also, and I never even imagined there would be a potential conflict of any sort, because as far as I'm aware, Windows Defender is only the anti spyware part of that whole Windows protection suite. Not an antivirus program. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that one, but I'm pretty sure. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jake Joehl" <jajoehl@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 5:09 AM Subject: Re: Windows Defender & AVG Paid Edition Hi Larry. I've got Windows Vista and I'm running both Windows Defender and the free version of AVG. I'm not having any problems at all, with the exception of here and there JAWS cutting off words for only a few seconds. Not sure what causes this though. I think the free version of AVG is basically identical to the paid-for version, but I could be wrong on that. Jake ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry To: JAWS List Serve Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 6:04 AM Subject: Windows Defender & AVG Paid Edition List, Should Windows Defender that came with a Toshiba laptop having Vista be running simultaneously with The paid for version of AVG? If not, what intervention can this unsophisticated user effect? I'm attempting to pinpoint why JAWS 9.0 loses focus and speach for 45 seconds, acts more sluggish as time elapses and clips words. This happens in Microsoft Word 2003 and Windows Mail. Should anyone have a thought on this issue, kindly contact me on or off list for some possible resolution. I would be very much appreciative.
