    Enhancing Security
    « on: June 19, 2013, 12:30:28 PM »
    I noticed that the Microsoft Defender on my computer is off.  If I turn it on, will it interfere with my Norton 360?  If it does not interfere with my Norton, will it enhance my computer security?

    Thank you.

    While it won't interfere with your AV, I suggest you leave it disabled. Windows Defender is a complete waste of resources. In fact, to make sure it's disabled you should set the Windows Defender Service to "Disabled".
