So, the consensus is to go ahead and install Defender?
Sorry for the delayed answer. IMO it can't harm to install MS Defender, it will add an extra layer of defense to your PC Please keep in mind that detection and removing/cleaning rates are average. Positive facts are that MSD is light on resources and provide fast scans. -- Smokey's Security Forums »www.smokey-services.eu/forum/ Smokey's Security Weblog »smokeys.wordpress.com/ ASAP Site Member »asap.maddoktor2.com
Okay - installed it, updated definitions, and ran a scan (nothing found). Had to use IE to download it - Microsoft would not let me do it using Firefox (even with the extension installed)- the validation 'code' when entered into the box and pressing continue gave me a "this page could not be found - after doing this twice, I opened IE and it worked fine - then shut IE and went with FF again.

You'll find you can download updated definitions every day with Firefox. It's just the validation required to download the program itself that seems to be a problem with Firefox.
