    Hi All,

    I have installed Microsoft Security Essentials on my computer but I found that Windows defender are still listed in the startup program list (msconfig.exe). My questions are:

    1. Does MSE conflict, or overlap, with Windows defender?
    2. Are MSE's functionalities a superset of Windows defender? Can I simply turn off windows defender (both in startup and services) ane leave only MSE? Will this compromise the security of my computer?

     

    Thanks,

    Bob
