| 876115 | 2010-04-13 08:38:00 | I have just bought a Dell notebook which had xp installed, but a CD of W7 premium was included so I installed that (clean install). The Cd includes Windows Defender. What is the difference between M Defender & M Security essentials? I've had a good run with Security Essentials. Should I remove Defender & use Security essentials? |

| 876117 | 2010-04-13 08:43:00 | MSE is a later version of WD I think. And it also uses the same engine. But if you're going to install MSE, uninstall / disable WD (MSE disables it anyway, I think) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 876118 | 2010-04-13 08:44:00 | MS Defender defends nothing and MSSE normally disables it anyway. MSSE is the best of the free AV s out there. LL |

| 876119 | 2010-04-13 08:53:00 | hmm might try it instead of Avast. Is there a 64 bit install? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 876120 | 2010-04-13 08:58:00 | There's a 32 and 64 bit version of MSE (64 bit for Vista and Win7 x64), and 32 bit for win7 / Vista 32 bit and XP | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
