    What is the difference between Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials? Should I run both?

    You're welcome.

    I will add that I switched from AVG free to Security Essentials and I'm happy with it. It's not a resource hog, it updates smoothly...and quietly...and starts ups/shut downs are much faster.

    Exactly what I did, went from AVG free to MSE.
    I had some questions about malware, trojans etc. Now I don't.
