    Does anyone have any opinions on Windows Defender---is it worth to keep on the computer and does it really work.

    I already run Malawarebytes & Spywareblaster plus Eset Security Suite--
    do I need Windows Defender?

    Thank you.

    Mostly useless.
    You can safely disable it.

    there is a -- check mark -- in the box "Mark this thread as solved "

    isn't that what I am supposed to do? But it is still not showing up as RESOLVED.

    Thank Arie-- I was clicking on the "CHECK MARK" instead of the "mark thread as resoved--- got it now--- sometimes us oldtimers can't even see what is right in front of their face.

    Thanks again for the info.
