MS Defender is replaced by MSE it actually forms part of the AV.It should NOT be disabled. NEVER use more than one AV in resident mode as the same time they WILL conflict, and actually reduce the level of protection, and are likely to reduce the performance of the machine significantly. If you are in the habit of surfing to potentially unsafe sites, then its better to do so using a Virtual Machine which can easily be replicated to get rid of malware, and get back to a known stable state.
