I have the pro version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware + Microsoft Security Essentials. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is on & monitoring. Do I need Defender? I keep getting this window on login.
From the time I started using Windows 8, which would have been January 2013, the only thing I used was Windows Defender. I'm curious to know if I really need to use anything else
I believe there's a MS video that explains that Windows Defender is anti-malware only. I believe you most definitely need an anti-virus as well. Microsoft Security Essentials is free.From the time I started using Windows 8, which would have been January 2013, the only thing I used was Windows Defender.

No. Defender used to be just anti-malware in Windows 7, but in windows 8 they added anti-virus to it, so it's both.I believe there's a MS video that explains that Windows Defender is anti-malware only. I believe you most definitely need an anti-virus as well. Microsoft Security Essentials is free.
Yes, when I was using Win 7 I was using MSE then. I'm not sure how much better the other AV apps really are. Windows Defender worked fine for me with Win 8.No. Defender used to be just anti-malware in Windows 7, but in windows 8 they added anti-virus to it, so it's both.
Windows 10: Defender is MSE rebranded.
Mbam & Defender play nice together. What you don't need is MSE.
Uninstall MSE on Win10 and that message will probably go away.
Aaaa. I came from Win7. OK, will do.Windows 10: Defender is MSE rebranded.

Well, when I try to uninstall MSE it says it's already installed! Huh?
I tried to start Defender but I get an error code 0x8007139f. This might be because of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on???
MBAM would not cause an error.
Do you or did you have any other security program on you 'puter ?
