It's obvious I have a plethora of security programs installed - and I would suggest you NOT "jump in the deep end" and try everything at once. Everything I use is free, except for the PRO/PLUS versions of MBAM/WinPatrol. My signature lists my current configuration, in detail. In either/all cases, there's no need to run Windows Defender if you're running a security SUITE that contains McAfee Anti-VIRUS + Anti-SPYWARE.Īs for alternative free recommendations, there are many good (and free) security programs available for download. īut if you're running Windows 7/Vista/XP, then Windows Defender is "merely" an anti-SPYWARE program, which should be able to co-exist with other anti-VIRUS programs. And in this case, Windows Defender should automatically disable itself when Windows 8 acknowledges the presence of an active/enabled & up-to-date McAfee on your system. If you're running Windows 8, then Windows Defender is a full-fledged anti-VIRUS (plus anti-SPYWARE) program. It's important to know here, as " Windows Defender" is a very different creature depending on which operating system you're running. Next, a question: You didn't specify your operating system. If you're gonna use McAfee, you might as well use its firewall - meaning you should disable the Windows firewall. So, unless you inform us that you're unhappy with McAfee and wish to change, I will accept your use of McAfee as the "starting point" in replying here. The bottom line being, it's your decision whether to keep/use it or not. There is much debate, and hard-felt opinions, on McAfee. What notifications are you getting about security that concern you? If you can copy the complete text, that might be helpful.
