[Manish]

can win defender be simultaniously used with another antivirus utility safely

without causing errors in either ones running?

 

[Joan Archer]

Yes. I have it running here on a WinXP box with NOD32 v3 anti virus both

running in real time without any conflicts or problems.

Windows Defender is NOT an anti virus. It is geared only to spyware and adware.

However it can happily coexist with a "real" anti virus application.

Yes.

Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for Windows Defender support

and comments. This is not one of them.

See

TIP: Access these newsgroups using your default newsreader, not your

browser. See instructions on above page.
