Windows Defender?

Margaret in Burton · 23-08-08, 20:59

Just got Vista. Windows Defender is not turned on. I have Norton security, comes a part of my BT sub on my ISP.

Do I need it to be turned on or will it not work with Norton?

You are usually recommended to only run one of them at a time, so I should leave it as it is.

Ooh Wendy, I am a new Vista user too and also have Windows Defender. I also have Spybot, so can I turn Windows Defender off, and if so, how please?

Thanks Wendy

I thought that might be the case but wanted to check.
