Can I have the Defender on with my Security Essential on Have them both on at the same time? both running all the time Thanks

Why? MSE includes the functionality of Defender, so there is no need to run both the same time."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Microsoft Security Essentials turns Defender off. That's good, not bad, since Microsoft Security Essentials does the same things that Defender does. You don't want to have both running, since doing so would adversely impact your performance, and create some risk of conflicts between them causing you problems. Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

And why do you need both? You still didn't tell me this."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/
