Window defender

I do not know if I am in the right place. I have windows vista home premium.
I also have kaspersky internet security on my computer. I want to know if I
can run windows defender also. It came on my computer when I bought it.

You shouldn't run two spyware scanning products at the same time. Pick
one and stick with it.

I disagree with my esteemed colleague Leonard here. Windows Defender and
KIS should co-exist nicely together on your Vista machine.

FYI: Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for Windows Defender
support and comments. See

TIP: Access these newsgroups using your default newsreader, not your
browser. See instructions on above page.

In fact, Windows Defender is not on the /official/ list of applications
that are not compatible with Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, which can
be found here:
http://support.kaspersky.com/kis2009...?qid=208279751

Nonetheless, opinion is divided in the KIS user forums over whether both
products should be active at the same time on Vista. In any case, one
might ask why one would be interested in Windows Defender when Kaspersky
is on board.

(Since when am I your "esteemed colleague"?)

Why not?

Because if they were well together why not have both for security?

The built-in programs have priority status and any others are secondary and
should be treated accordingly, IMHO. <H>.

I have been running Vista 64 with both Kaspersky and WD with no problems
whatsoever. Keep them both, they work fine together.
